 That's simple and maybe I should have explain more in the commit
message. Those configs aren't tested. All the images that we provide
are using GENERIC kernel so we know that GENERIC is tested (somewhat).
 Those config will also lack update if we need to add a new required
pseudo device (like syscon) and maybe it's already the case on some.
 The only way (for now) that we could produce board specific kernel
is to include GENERIC and add a bunch of nodevice "blah", which is not
going to happen. We have plan for splitting the GENERIC kernel into soc
familly file, then it would be easier for people to have a SoC kernel
config.
 Finaly I guess that when you say "boards we support" you are talking
about RPI2, BEAGLEBONE or maybe PANDABOARD. For me those aren't board
that we support, those are survivors that had the chance to not die in
the past years. No developer care about or work on those boards.
