Most generic options are defined in config/config. However, for
reasons that are unknown to me, some options that I would personally
consider generic are not listed in config/config but in the arch
config files (it's probably just historic reasons and never got
cleaned up). CONFIG_HAMRADIO is not defined in config/config but in
kernelarch-x86/config. Since we also want it on ARM, I went ahead and
added it to the ARM config.
However, imho it would be very valuable to go through these options
and discuss with the team whether it would make sense to move them to
config/config instead. This would simplify all the arch configs.
Another thing to mention is that you can add comments with #. As you
create a new config, it would be great if you could document why
certain options are enabled. For example, config.orion5x has:
#. Needed e.g. on QNAP devices
CONFIG_MTD_CFI_INTELEXT=y
#. Needed e.g. on the D-Link DNS-323
CONFIG_MTD_CFI_AMDSTD=y
