There are lots of "required" configs now for modern Android releases, do
you want to sync up with all of them here?  If so, look at the
gki_defconfig files in the AOSP kernels for the full list of what is
required.  Is it really needed to keep this file up to date or should it
be dropped entirely given that no one has noticed how out-of-date it is?
