In order to enforce backward compatibility with older config files, we want the new dynticks-idle Kconfig entry to default its value to the one of the old CONFIG_NO_HZ symbol if present. Namely we want: config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol bool config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol default NO_HZ However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol is not visible. And this is currently the case because NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig and alike. To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This makes the "defaulting" to work.
