Yes. See, I run a script locally. It is rather simple and only catches
the more obvious kconfig related mistakes. I'm pretty sure I won't
bother teaching it to spot mistakes like this one. But other people are
working on a sophisticated bot that might be able to catch those.

But, anyhow, just paying attention when fiddling with a piece of code
and spotting possible oddities is of course greatly appreciated!
