Looking into it, probably
bmips_dtb_defconfig was already broken regardless my patches.

But, I am not comfortable with breaking all{yes,mod}config
because they are often used for build test.


I hope you can apply this in the order as I sent,
with the following tag.

Fixes: 695835511f96 ("MIPS: BMIPS: rename bcm96358nb4ser to
bcm6358-neufbox4-sercom")
Cc: <stable at vger.kernel.org> # 4.9+
