Only list those that specifically cover the modified code. List them in the EnableConfigs output array, and DO NOT add a 'CONFIG_' prefix (e.g., return "NET_IPV4" instead of "CONFIG_NET_IPV4").

My initial thought is, "Wait, is this just a structural change, or are we fundamentally altering how these PPP connections behave?" I need to verify. I'll get to the heart of the matter and determine if this patch actually does anything besides remove dead code. A quick glance at the diff confirms: It's just the field removal. Now, the crucial question is whether these fields were even used before. If they were never accessed, this is simply a cleanup and won't impact functionality. I'll flag it as `WorthFuzzing=false` if that's the case. To be absolutely sure, I'll `grep` through `drivers/net/ppp/ppp_async.c` and `drivers/net/ppp/ppp_synctty.c` for `bytes_sent` and `bytes_rcvd`. That should immediately tell me if those fields were ever being read or written to.
