There is some things to tidy up for the parts we set for our kernel configs:

  • Usage of CONFIG_FOO=n instead of # CONFIG_FOO is not set to deactivate a setting
  • Check if there is any conflicts that merge-config brings up (e.g. intended to have something build in, but dependency options are build as module; merge-config will complain about those)

There is some differences in the 5.10 kernel between the configs for x86_64 and aarch64 configurations we include from our upstream.

  • aarch64 includes a bunch of IR drivers we do not need that are not in x86_64, see chain RC_CORE -> RC_DECODERS -> IR_*_DECODER
  • aarch64 has some USB host controller drivers built-in vs. built as module for x86_64, see USB_*HCI*

  • ixgbe driver is only needed for metal variants
  • smartpqi driver is only needed for metal variants
  • become more consistent with selection of EDAC drivers, e.g. we disable EDAC_I10NM but have drivers for other Intel micro-archs enabled
