Hi Daniel,

We can appreciate that  *defconfig should be complete. 
However we also have a desire to easy maintenance of multiple board *defconfig files variants which differ
in key CA features differences.  As presidio is a development board, its important to be able to support and easily maintain different
but common configuration variants for our customers.  

It seems that buildman takes in our partial board varient  *defconfig files and autogenerates more complete defconfig 
called u-boot.cfg at build time.  This also, in our opinion, helps to keep our defconfig files from becoming stale
with newer revisions of the core u-boot code base. 

If this is not acceptable, do you have any recommendation on how we easy our maintenance of 
multiple board defconfig variants using an alternate approach?
