If one patch has Kconfig section with only one 'config', then variable
'$is_start' will be set by first 'config' line and '$is_end' set by the
second 'config' line. But patches often has only one 'config' line so
we have no chance to set '$is_end', as result below condition is invalid
and it skips check for Kconfig description:
if ($is_start && $is_end && $length < $min_conf_desc_length) {
......
}
When script runs to this condition sentence it means the Kconfig
section parsing has been completed, whatever '$is_end' is true
or not. So removes '$is_end' from condition sentence.
Another change is to change '$min_conf_desc_length' from 4 to 1; so can
pass the check if the Kconfig description has at least one line.
