We need to point out _one_ of the faulty spots only. But I see that kconfig records file:line for properties and menu entries but not for symbols. Any special reason why file:line is omitted for symbols (except size of allocated memory)? Without looking into details it looks more relevant to have file:line for symbols rather than for prompts / properties..
