make it easy to change kernel config options with pmbootstrap

Right now the process for adjusting the kernel config to satisfy the required options is the following:

  • run pmbootstrap kconfig check
  • run pmbootstrap kconfig edit
  • navigate to eachoption that needs to be changed in the UI and change it manually (takes some time!)
  • save it

A much better process would be:

  • one pmbootstrap command / argument, that just fixes up a kernel config automatically
  • (additionally one pmbootstrap command to change one kernel option quickly)

We can't simply change one line from commented out to "= y" in the kernel config file, because that does not take care of dependencies.

But merge_config.sh can do it. It's a short script, maybe we should just copy it to the pmbootstrap source dir (to pmb/data) so we ensure we have the same version for all the crazy kernel trees we work with.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
