Is there a good motivation to use the 4.4 kernel that requires some
patches to support the Arietta, as opposed to using the mainline kernel
which has support for this platform built-in?
Also, if you really insist in using the 4.4 kernel, in PATCH 05/11,
you're making the defconfig point to your own Github repository for the
kernel. Why don't you include the necessary patches in your Github
repository, then?

Do we really need an entirely new defconfig? What about using the
at91_dt_defconfig available in the kernel?
Thanks,
