I think the belief in multi_v7 is a bit overplayed. For small embedded
systems like what BCM53xx is used for that results in a binary that
is so big it cannot be booted on the target and then the defconfig
is only good for compile tests :/

Compile tests are nice, but I want to do actual boot tests.

OK no problem.

I think that was what I was trying with bcm53xx_defconfig,
so we can cooperate on the final options to go in.
