Maybe it is wrong in the patch config, I really struggled with
configurations. I cross compile an uImage, test it on my system so I
got a working config, but when trying to port that to debian kernel I
really do not understand it very much. Help is appreciated.

It shouldn't matter which architecture compiles it, but armhf implies
VFP*, some armhf platforms (not all, but most of it) might imply NEON.

If you could comment which parts of the config look strange to you,
I'll try to fix it.
