nice :)

I reckon an entry in MAINTAINERS listing the board specific
files/directories would probably be worthwhile too.

I think this file is intended to be more minimal than a normal
defconfig, only enabling hardware device drivers (and related options)
and FIT IMAGE on top of the generic_defconfig and other snippets in this
directory, e.g. have you seen the other board config examples here?

https://git.linux-mips.org/cgit/linux-mti.git/tree/arch/mips/configs/generic?h=eng

If specific generic kernel features are desired we should probably
consider whether it makes sense to add them to the generic_defconfig so
other generic boards can benefit.

Cheers
James
