Apologies, I was a little too quick with the send button on my previous 
email. I forgot that I also wanted to respond to this part as well.

I am not quite sure this statement is correct. I definitely agree that 
the main reason to parse the "choice" block is to propagate the 
"depends"; however, I believe that there is also information for 
defaults as well as for prompts inside the "choice" blocks.


I made a shell script that reads all of the choice blocks in the various 
Kconfig files. I wanted to know how many of each type of information is 
in there. Here are the results:

  - select: 0
  - prompts: 152
  - defaults: 156
  - depends: 72

Also, I should note that while there are no selects inside of a choice, 
I am unaware if this will always be the case in the future.

Here is a link to the shell script that I made:
