It seems your fixes have been accepted in the meantime, but there is one
new:
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
drivers/misc/cxl/Kconfig:8:warning: 'CXL_BASE' selects unknown symbol
'PPC_COPRO_BASE'

PPC_COPRO_BASE is not known on x86, but at the same time, there is no
way for CXL_BASE to be selected on x86:

config CXL_BASE
	bool
	default n
	select PPC_COPRO_BASE

config CXL
	tristate "Support for IBM Coherent Accelerators (CXL)"
	depends on PPC_POWERNV && PCI_MSI
	select CXL_BASE
	default m

Shouldn't we only warn about a select when it is triggered? An
allyesconfig would still report all bogus selects for given architecture.
