This tag should contain a short description summarising the changes in the pull request. For more detail on sending pull requests, please see Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst. + +Defconfigs purpose +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Defconfigs are primarily used by the kernel developers, because distros have +their own configs. A change adding new CONFIG options to a defconfig should +explain why the kernel developers in general would want such option, e.g. by +providing a name of an upstream-supported machine/board using that new option. +This implies that enabling options in defconfig for non-upstream machines shall +not be accepted. |
