I guess "basic board config" == config for features in Linus Torvald's
tree. "new board enablement" == config for things only in LT tree. For
us that's TC2 power managemnt and various drivers. Probably, most of the
time the config for this extra stuff in LT trees is harmless (i.e. just
gives KConfig warnings) but I imagine there might be things which would
break llct.

Yes, and we don't use it, instead I cut'n'paste it into vexpress.conf
because CI jobs etc want a single config. And now I think about it, this
probably doesn't play well with the big.LITTLE In-Kernel Switcher (IKS)
project, so that's possibly going to have to patch vexpress.conf to
remove MP and add IKS configs.
