No, not really.

Even though 'default' in Kconfig is not authoritative, and that's not
even a warning to default to an option that has unmet dependencies, I
still find it odd to default to that option.

And since the default is defaulting to the first entry in the choice, it
is no longer needed at all.

At best, we could add a comment summarising the situation.
