I guess that most of these are warnings and not errors, but since none of
them are quoted here, I cannot tell that for sure.

Anyway, please follow coding-style for Kconfig files:

(from Documentation/process/coding-style.rst, section 10):

For all of the Kconfig* configuration files throughout the source tree,
the indentation is somewhat different.  Lines under a ``config`` definition
are indented with one tab, while help text is indented an additional two
spaces.


thanks.
