Most platforms don't even have a custom defconfig any more. If you
think you need this one,
I would suggest naming it sunplus_defconfig so it makes more sense
when other related
SoCs are added to it.

I would also suggest enabling your platform specific drivers in
multi_v7_defconfig,
and testing that one to ensure it works.

I'd leave this out of the defconfig

You almost certainly don't need CONFIG_USELIB

This will cause a build failure for everyone else I think

Probably not needed, otherwise explain what option you need to touch
that depends on this.

Ah nice, we don't have enough defconfigs using THUMB2_KERNEL. This may mean
that you get reports about thumb2 specific bugs that nobody else runs
into, but that is
better than if nobody uses that.

What is the maximum amount of supported RAM? Note that HIGHMEM support
will likely
go away at some point, so it may be better to use a good VMSPLIT
setting that works with
all your machines without requiring highmem.

Where do these come from? I see you don't set CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM, so they will be
ignored, but if you do rely on these, it likely means that your
machine is unable to
run a multi_v7_defconfig kernel, which is bad.

Remove this, the configuration should come from the bootloader.

This is always enabled

Are you actually using CAIF? Which driver do you use?

Same here, do you use this?

Do you have a physical PS/2 keyboard connector

CONFIG_FB is no longer recommended for new platforms, please use
CONFIG_SIMPLEDRM for the moment, until you have converted your
driver to the DRM framework.

What is this?

> +CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y

If you use eMMC storage, I recommend using EXT4_FS instead of EXT2_FS
