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,
