We have several "defconfigs" that are not actually full defconfigs they are just a base set of options which are then merged with other fragments to produce a working defconfig. The most obvious example is corenet_basic_defconfig which only contains one symbol CONFIG_CORENET_GENERIC=y. And in fact if you build it as a "defconfig" that one symbol ends up undefined, because its prerequisites are missing. There is also mpc85xx_base_defconfig which doesn't actually enable CONFIG_PPC_85xx. To avoid confusion, rename these config fragments to "foo_base.config" to make it clearer that they are not full defconfigs and are instaed just fragments that are used to generate real defconfigs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
