This last sentence is a bit out of place, the typical tone in a commit
message is to "direct the repository to make a change", so you use an
imperative. But it's more directed to the human reader of course, so
you don't need to replicate details like the exact filename, that are
spelt out three lines below here. So just a simple:

Add the defconfig file.

would suffice.

You correctly mention this, but miss the required MMC controller number:

CONFIG_MMC_SUNXI_SLOT_EXTRA=2

This line belongs a few lines up. There is some non-obvious order of
those lines, which you can obtain by running "make savedefconfig" after
"make transpeed-8k618-t_defconfig". This will create a "defconfig"
file, which contains the minimal defconfig, in the right order. This
will be done routinely on all files in the configs/ directory
eventually, but it's good measure to get this right from the beginning,
to reduce churn.

You are also missing:
# CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_CLEAR_ON_INIT is not set
which is somewhat mandatory on all Allwinner boards.
I don't actually remember why exactly, but we have this for almost
every sunxi board.

Thanks,
Andre
