Re: Building the Raspberry Pi kernel with RT PREEMPT

Hey,

the commit that I checked out was from the raspberrypi kernel
repository, but it does indeed not have the 'bcm2709_defconfig':
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/a16134b082346b7e7c34f594a0763eafacdcea92/arch/arm/configs
The problem is that when that file was added, the branch was at 4.14.17
already. But as I said, I need 4.14.15. :/
Maybe I could just use the old 4.14.15 commit and add that one file from
the 4.14.17 state?
