Are all these FW files always needed, or do you need them depending on 
the use case or device? If they are not always needed maybe add them 
into seperate packages.

Do you still have the fconfig tool which access something in /dev/ to 
get the mac addresses? Maybe remove the workarounds for devices which 
are not yet supported.

Do you need CONFIG_DNOTIFY  for something target speicfic?

Ext4 should be sufficent it can handle ext2 and ext3 too.

"# CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY is not set" is already set in the generic 
configuration. have you run:
make kernel_oldconfig

> +This happens in this case because the IXP4xx is big endian and
> +the 32- and 16-bit fields in the struct cfi_intelext_otpinfo are not
> +properly byteswapped. Compare to how the code in read_pri_intelext()
> +byteswaps the fields in struct cfi_pri_intelext.
> +
> +Adding a small byte swapping loop for the OTP in read_pri_intelext()
> +and the crash goes away.
> +
> +The problem went unnoticed for many years until I enabled
> +CONFIG_MTD_OTP on the IXP4xx as well, triggering the bug.
