I would like to NAK this patch.

Our intent is that the Config.lb files DIE and be removed. Their
presence is only useful until such time as we make the cut to Kconfig
permanent. I would rather not take this patch, as it locks us into
backwards compatibiility for devicetree.cb -- if we improve sconfig in
some way,and change devicetree.cb, we have to worry every time we
change it that our change won't work for the old language. We thus
have to change the old parser every time we change the new one! This
is a lot of work for a tool we intend to remove.

This patch would lock us into a maintenance problem.

But thanks for looking.
