If the change is really needed, I suggest the help text could explain that this overrides global.autoboot and that configuration via defaultenv has further options for boot behavior. Maybe also the autoboot global help text could be extended: "Autoboot state. Possible values: countdown (default), abort, halt, menu, boot. Ineffective if overwritten by CONFIG_DEBUG_AUTOBOOT_ABORT."
