All this email was about were kernel configuration options that can't be
enabled for some reason.  Of course these automated checkers such as
Robert's make the assumption that the CONFIG_* preprocessor namespace
is rserved for the Kconfig system.  In this particular case the reason
is quite simple:

> arch/mips/kernel/process.c:54:#ifdef CONFIG_SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG
> arch/mips/Kconfig.debug:40:config CONFIG_SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG

The kconfig system itself does prefix names with CONFIG_ so kconfig
ends up defining CONFIG_CONFIG_SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG (are we stuttuttering?)
So this one is fixed trivially.
