I have applied those preparation patches that make sense regardless of
what happens with the bump.

So this commit without the next two leads to a broken situation,
correct? (Note: this is not a complaint, I agree with them being split).

But don't we have this situation of source statements inside a
choice..endchoice in other places? I remember Yann saying that this was
a problematic change for us in the upstream kconfig code.
