So, the local patches I have are very light-weight, and the RT-patch can be
downloaded externally, but I wonder about the defconfig. Preempt-RT
switches the config parameters quite a lot, is there a tool or trick to use
in order to "cleanup" the defconfig to make it as minimal as possible ?
Right now I just use linux-imx defconfig as a start, turn on preempt-rt,
and save the resulting .config file.
