A defconfig which doesn't build a kernel nor a bootloader is pretty useless IMO. Isn't the code to build this kernel available on some Git repository, even if it's not upstream yet ? If so, then it would be better to have a defconfig that points to this Git repository (actually, many of our defconfigs point to non-upstream kernel source code). Thanks!
