Hi Jonathan,

Since there is only one Raspberry Pi related defconfig in the mainline
kernel, it's useful to have to work well on all 32-bit Raspberry Pis.
this wasn't intention of bcm2835_defconfig. It's more focused on BCM2835
SOC and kernel-ci (both non-SMP). If you want to use the BCM2836 &
BCM2837 (incl. SMP), please use multi_v7_defconfig instead. Applying
this change would decrease the test coverage.

Ah, fair enough.

It is fair that CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP is different from not enabling CONFIG_SMP, but if we care to test CONFIG_SMP disabled, should not there be a specific modification of multi_v7_defconfig or another configuration specifically for that purpose?
