Yep. So you've caught a bug! Thanks for pointing this out!

So, its not the greps in my mind that are the issue, its the
SED_CONF_EXP lines. Those shouldn't be applied to the REQUESTED and
ACTUAL values, since they would strip out any difference between the
two, causing the comparison to be moot.

I was trying to fix the script from complaining like:
	Value requested for CONFIG_EXPERT not in final .config
	Requested value:  # CONFIG_EXPERT=y
	Actual value:     # CONFIG_EXPERT is not set

But clearly the change was wrong.

Anyway, reverting back to something like the following should fix it:

diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh b/scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh
index b146b76..adac068 100755
--- a/scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh
+++ b/scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh
@@ -105,8 +105,8 @@ make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=$TMP_FILE $ALLTARGET

+	REQUESTED_VAL=$(grep -w -e "$CFG" $TMP_FILE)

 	if [ "x$REQUESTED_VAL" != "x$ACTUAL_VAL" ] ; then
 		echo "Value requested for $CFG not in final .config"
 		echo "Requested value:  $REQUESTED_VAL"


Andrew: Would you prefer small fixes ontop of the patch you took, or
just a new patch that includes this along with Darren's and Arnaud's
fixes? 

thanks
