Your wish is our command ;-)

A big but: duplicate symbol definitions are explicitely allowed by the
kconfig language, so you find most of those duplicates are actually just
varying dependencies or default values.  At least, it is interesting to
see how "duplicate" symbol definitions are used and perhaps this helps
you with your reordering.

This is just a prototype, that hopefully helps with your current task,
so I did not pay too much attention to make it beautiful.  Please let me
know if anything is missing.

Anyway, apply the patch and then invoke "make symcheckconfig" at the
top-level directory.
