*I* personally (as SoC maintainer) think that having a few more defconfigs
is fine, even helpful.
But I would defer this to the more senior SoC maintainers because I think
their stance is something like:
- We have multi_v7_defconfig for compile testing
- We know that binary gets way to big for your system: it's for build
testing and perhaps booting in QEMU or systems with many MB of
RAM, not for actually running it on products.
- You are encouraged to keep your own defconfig out-of-tree.
However I even challenged this myself by adding a defconfig for memory
constrained Broadcoms a while back (NACKed/ignored ;) so if it was all
up to me I would merge this.
Yours,
Linus Walleij
