It creates a arch/$arch/$board/config.h, so we get the following:

# git checkout for-next/remove-config-h
...
# make pcm038_defconfig && make
...
# git checkout master
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
        arch/arm/boards/pcm038/config.h
Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

So this patch forces us to manually remove arch/$arch/$board/config.h
or to use git checkout -f
