Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.

  I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
  real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
  building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
  a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
  and I did not receive any problem report about this.

  Summary:

   - add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
     help is doubled

   - document data structure and complex code

   - fix various memory leaks

   - change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
     pre-generated C files

   - drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'

   - use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables

   - fix gettext() check for xconfig

   - announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed

   - make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search
     result

   - hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people

   - fix misc things and cleanups"

The initialization of cfg_cmd is redundant as the value is never read
and it is being re-assigned to cfg_cmd = pwrcfgcmd[ary_idx] inside a
loop, hence it can be removed.

Cleans up clang warning:

'cfg_cmd' during its initialization is never read

Furthermore, they are totally undocumented

Commit 6341e62b212a ("kconfig: use bool instead of boolean for type
definition attributes") did treewide replacement of 'boolean', and
also mentioned the keyword 'boolean' would be dropped later on.

Some years have passed, but it has not happened yet.  Meanwhile, some
new instances have come up.

I am really going to drop this keyword.  I need to do the replacement
once again.

do_gettimeofday() is deprecated and slower than necessary for the purpose
of reading the seconds. This changes rtl_op_suspend/resume to use
ktime_get_real_seconds() instead, which is simpler and avoids confusion
about whether it is y2038-safe or not.

Variable ul_enc_algo is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being set again in the following switch statements in
all of the case and default paths. Hence the unitialization is
redundant and can be removed.  Cleans up two clang warnings:
