has_help only counts the situation in which the patch file adds a help
line.  If the config was renamed and the description was modified,
has_help is zero because a "help" line was not added.

here is one case:
    the modify file: drivers/iio/adc/Kconfig  line(1047)

    -config SC27XX_ADC
    +config SPRD_ADC
     	tristate "Spreadtrum SC27xx series PMICs ADC"
     	depends on MFD_SC27XX_PMIC || COMPILE_TEST
    +	depends on ARCH_SPRD
     	help
    -	  Say yes here to build support for the integrated ADC inside the
    -	  Spreadtrum SC27xx series PMICs.
    +	  Say yes here to build support for the integrated ADC inside of the
    +	  Spreadtrum SC27xx and UMPxx series PMICs.

     	  This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
     	  will be called sc27xx_adc.

the checkpatch result:
    WARNING: please write a help paragraph that fully describes the config symbol
    #23: FILE: drivers/iio/adc/Kconfig:1050:
    +config SPRD_ADC
    +	tristate "Spreadtrum's ADC PMICs driver"
     	depends on MFD_SC27XX_PMIC || COMPILE_TEST
    +	depends on ARCH_SPRD
     	help
