Thanks for your tips and links Philipp and Russell! My distro of choice is Arch and so really I should try to install the patched git kernel "the Arch way" so my first question is, does anyone on this list have an Arch PKGBUILD script to create a linux (4.x) git kernel package for imx6 alikes? If the answer to that is no then I think I'm most of the way to having created one based upon https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-git/ but I'm missing a suitable kernel .config file. I tried putting make imx_v6_v7_defconfig Into the PKGBUILD but that didn't work out and the ALARM imx6 kernel config is for kernel 3.14 so I can't use that either.
