s/choice/source/

Yes, "source" in a choice...endchoice block.

That was commit in the kernel, 4 years ago:

    09d5873e4d1f7 kconfig: allow only 'config', 'comment', and 'if' inside 'choice'

Indeed.

No, it is not...

Not right now. There were a few other major changes, but AFAICS we would
not be impacted.

init-kconfig has not been touched in 2 years. There is no point in
switching from our mothballed copy, to another mothballed copy...

And in any case, they advertise as being "a passive fork of Linux
kconfig", and their "goal is not to fork kconfig and evolve it
separately".
