Are you sure it was regressed ? When I read the code at commit
4b81badbcc0b25678ac6627548160702731cf393, I don't see even back then
how linux-reconfigure would trigger a complete reconfiguration. Have
you actually verified that it was working as expected back at commit
4b81badbcc0b25678ac6627548160702731cf393 ? Indeed, at commit
4b81badbcc0b25678ac6627548160702731cf393, we were already only removing
the stamp_kconfig_fixup_done stamp file, so my understanding is rather
that commit 4b81badbcc0b25678ac6627548160702731cf393 doesn't implement
what the commit log says.
