I assume that's because =y is the default for that now?


Yes.

I think we need to keep those two. Those two defconfigs are slightly
different configurations of U-Boot's p2771-0000 board/target.


OK, then you need to submit a patch to fix the underlying problem, if
there is one, really.  Keep in mind that what this is, is re-running
savedefconfig for each target.  So if something odd drops out that
means
that it wasn't having any effect before.


I don't believe there is any underlying problem. The Kconfig option
in question is defined in arch/arm/mach-tegra/tegra186/Kconfig, when
building for p2771-0000-000 the option makes it into .config just
fine, and the value is used by board/nvidia/p2771-0000/Kconfig.
Isn't this a bug in savedefconfig? I'm CC'ing Masahiro to get some
insight.


It is the default value then and isn't saved is I believe the answer.


I don't think it's the default; nothing selects that option and it
has no "default y".

Or maybe since the value is inside a choice, and is the only entry
that's there, that does make it the default? If so, that seems a
little fragile; what if someone comes along and adds a new board
into the list, and puts it before the existing entry (e.g. to
maintain alphabetical sorting). That would changing the meaning of
the current defconfig file if the first entry is picked as default.
If so, I'm surprised if nobody has had that issue yet.


It's all correct and I think we have had this hit once or twice when
adding or changing the order.  It is a side effect of how Kconfig just
works.


I'm not convinced. If I apply your patch, and also the following:

... then I get a build failure for p2771-0000-000_defconfig since .config
ends up containing CONFIG_TARGET_E9999_1234 rather than
CONFIG_TARGET_P2771_0000. I think we want to avoid that don't we? If we
don't, savedefconfig in the face of choice options seems rather too fragile,
or we need to force people to update *_defconfig any time any Kconfig choice
is edited.

We have discussed this problem several times before.

  - The first entry in a "choice" is the default, unless otherwise specified.
  - "make savedefconfig" drops all the defaults to create a minimum
set of configs.

So, we need to be careful when we insert a new entry at the first
or delete the first entry in a "choice".

We are supposed to not re-sync defconfigs in Linux Kernel, so we are not hit
by this issue much there, but we still be careful when we edit the
first entry of a choice.

Really? In practice, it happens all the time. It's rather critical whenever adding new options to the defconfig, to separate out the /actual/ changes you're making from the simple act of "savedefconfig" itself making changes even without edits to the defconfig file.
