Take SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY as an example, it is of integer type.

$ less drivers/ata/Kconfig

config SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY
        int "Default SATA Link Power Management policy for low power chipsets"
        range 0 4
        default 0
        depends on SATA_AHCI
        help
          Select the Default SATA Link Power Management (LPM) policy to use
          for chipsets / "South Bridges" supporting low-power modes. Such
          chipsets are typically found on most laptops but desktops and
          servers now also widely use chipsets supporting low power modes.

          The value set has the following meanings:
                0 => Keep firmware settings
                1 => Maximum performance
                2 => Medium power
                3 => Medium power with Device Initiated PM enabled
                4 => Minimum power

          Note "Minimum power" is known to cause issues, including disk
          corruption, with some disks and should not be used.

In the config file generated by kismet, we have:

$ grep SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY kismet-test-cases/udd-alpha-CONFIG_BCM2835_VCHIQ_MMAL-CONFIG_VIDEO_ISP_BCM2835-0-0.config
# CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY is not set

After calling "make olddefconfig" to refresh the .config, this config is removed from the .config file:

$ cp kismet-test-cases/udd-alpha-CONFIG_BCM2835_VCHIQ_MMAL-CONFIG_VIDEO_ISP_BCM2835-0-0.config .config
$ make ARCH=alpha olddefconfig
$ grep SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY .config
<-- nothing
