Use this short header style in all Kconfig files:
# <description>
# <copyright>
# <license>
...
Also change all <description>s from
# Kconfig[.extension] - Foo-related options
to just
# Foo-related options
It's clear enough that it's about Kconfig.
The <description> cleanup was done with this command, along with some
manual cleanup (big letter at the start, etc.)

Defining a symbol with 'menuconfig' just tells the menuconfig to display
any dependent symbols that immediately follow it in a separate menu.
'menuconfig' has no effect on symbol values.
Making a symbol that doesn't have any dependent symbols after it a
'menuconfig' should be avoided, because then you end up with an empty
menu, which is shown as e.g.
[*] Enable foo ---
This is how it would be shown if there were children but they all
happened to be invisible as well.
With a regular 'config', it turns into
[*] Enable foo
Change all pointless 'menuconfig's to 'config's.
See the section on 'menuconfig' on the Kconfig - Tips and Best Practices
page as well.

Consistently use
config FOO
bool/int/hex/string "Prompt text"
instead of
config FOO
bool/int/hex/string
prompt "Prompt text"
(...and a bunch of other variations that e.g. swapped the order of the
type and the 'prompt', or put other properties between them).
The shorthand is fully equivalent to using 'prompt'. It saves lines and
avoids tricking people into thinking there is some semantic difference.
Most of the grunt work was done by a modified version of
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26284/how-can-i-use-sed-to-replace-a-multi-line-string/26290#26290, but some
of the rarer variations had to be converted manually.

Bool symbols implicitly default to 'n'.
A 'default n' can make sense e.g. in a Kconfig.defconfig file, if you
want to override a 'default y' on the base definition of the symbol. It
isn't used like that on any of these symbols though, and is
inconsistent.
This will make the auto-generated Kconfig documentation have "No
defaults. Implicitly defaults to n." as well, which is clearer than
'default n if ...'
