Just wanted to note that this isn't true for the 64r6el_defconfig & 
32r2_defconfig (or similarly other variations of architecture revision & 
endianness). They aren't files under arch/mips/configs/, instead these configs 
are generated by merging a bunch of config fragments atop arch/mips/configs/
generic_defconfig. This allows us to have these minor variations on the base 
generic_defconfig without duplicating its content & incurring the maintenance 
headache of keeping them all in sync. For reference powerpc do similar things 
to generate variations upon their real defconfigs.

If you do have a way to get 64r6el_defconfig & 32r2_defconfig included that 
would be great, since more MIPS boards should be covered by these generic 
configurations over the next few cycles.

Thanks,
    Paul
