Question about Workflow for kernel packaging

Hi, I am trying to understand the workflow that people use to work on the kernel. What is the best way to run make menuconfig or make oldconfig based on the kconfig created by rules.gen when you update the kernel? Also, when you change values, how do you ensure that they are written to the corre

I have some info that I think could help narrow this down and feel like I now at least have a trail to pursue. The SD card reader works in Fedora 30 Rawhide but not in the 29 iso. This means that between kernel 4.18 and 5.0 the maintainers in Fedora made a change to their config that made this s
