Yes, this warning is annoying. However, we should not simply modify
kconfig code directly, the patches in support/kconfig/patches/ have to
be updated accordingly: they must contain *all* the changes that we
have applied on top of the kernel version of kconfig. This is needed
because when regularly update the kconfig code in support/kconfig/
using the latest one from the kernel. And if we want to do this without
losing our own changes, we must keep the patches in
support/kconfig/patches/ accurate.

Could you fix your patch so that it also includes a new patch in
support/kconfig/patches/ (or modifies one of the existing patch if it
makes more sense).

Thanks!

Thomas
