 Actually for the Linux defconfig I don't agree. If you'd apply it there, the
basic linux defconfig would include just the serial driver, so no USB, no
networking, no framebuffer... I don't think that would make anyone happy,
because it can be pretty tricky (even for someone experienced) to find out
exactly what to enable.

 Therefore, for the Linux configs, I tend to prefer one which has all the
devices enabled that are available on the board.

 And of course an in-tree defconfig is even better, and that usually has a lot
of stuff that doesn't even exist on the board (e.g. because it supports multiple
boards).

 Regards,
 Arnout
