Naive question: LKC?

One thing I noticed is that it is practical to be able to parse
arbitrary tags (commits) in the git tree. So you can quickly parse a
tree you don't actually have checked out in git. But perhaps your
checker also does that.

I've wondered for some time what happens when one uses either of these
numbers as the value for an "int" Kconfig symbol. I've never tried.

This looks odd. I think your checker doesn't like an uppercase M after
default. There are exactly two of those in the tree.

Ditto (but I haven't actually counted the occurrences of "default N").

This is a default of a "choice". There used to be quite a lot of invalid
"choice" defaults, so I stopped checking those. (But I didn't bother to
look how my local script now handles these.) In practice these are
treated as "no default", aren't they?

My script currently finds 28 undefined symbols. That equals this result
(given you have 2 false positive and 1 undefined choice default.)
