I'm not familiar with AM33xx so I don't know how similar is to OMAP3
but we used to have different defconfigs for each OMAP board before
and consolidated everything in only two defconfigs: omap1_defconfig to
be used for all OMAP1 devices and omap2plus_defconfig to be used for
all OMAP2+ (i.e: OMAP{2,3,4,5}) devices.
Those have all the common kconfig options and board vendors can
customize to fit their needs and have a delta with something like:
$ ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh
arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig /foo/bar/igep_defconfig
Again I'm not familiar with AM33xx but what I do know is that we
should keep defconfigs to a minimum.
