So, you say that bcm_defconfig is no longer useful. While I'm happy to see the
number of defconfigs go down, I'd like to clarify that we do still see per-SoC
defconfigs somewhat useful, in that they are a lot closer to what someone would
want to use for defconfig in a product kernel based on the SoC. It's easier to
start from the SoC-specific defconfig and remove pieces that aren't needed than
to start from multi_v7_defconfig.

That being said, I'm happy to remove it if you think that's what works best for
your platform.

Merged into next/defconfig.
