Since commit cbe46bd4f510 ("powerpc: remove CONFIG_CMDLINE #ifdef mess") CONFIG_CMDLINE has always had a value regardless of CONNIG_CMDLINE_BOOL.
For example: $ make ARCH=powerpc defconfig $ cat .config # CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not set CONFIG_CMDLINE="" When enabling CONNIG_CMDLINE_BOOL this value is kept making the 'default "..." if CONNIG_CMDLINE_BOOL' ineffective. $ ./scripts/config --enable CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL $ cat .config CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y CONFIG_CMDLINE="" Additionally all the in-tree powerpc defconfigs that set CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y also set CONFIG_CMDLINE to something else. For these reasons remove the inaccessible default.
