Yes, I don't find it either in OE-Core nor in the history, so not sure why this
was added in the first place.

If you want you can send a patch to remove it and also rework the
`do_menuconfig` section to make it non-kernel-specific, since you can also run
this task for U-boot, and other recipes that inherit the cml1 class.
