I'd find it quite useful to have more defconfigs mainline. I didn't submit one after finding some old discussions we don't have more defconfigs in kernel. I'd really appreciate some official policy and explanation on this. On this particular patch: there are few symbols we should discuss. I don't see why there is CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y and some others too. Let's get this policy cleared first though. Linus: you could also ask me before spending so many hours on this. I'd recommend looking at https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/tree/board/broadcom/northstar/linux.config https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1500b7d5c818fb021eaa8741eec8130cbbf3477e _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
