It's easily reverted.

My opinion is that we have too many things up in the air.  When Patrick is
trying to figure out differences between Kconfig and newconfig, the last
thing he needs is a devicetree.cb that has been modified from the Config.lb
breaking things.

I thought the idea was to switch over to kbuildall before we made other
major changes.  Otherwise we have too many things to test.  For example the
s2881 that used to work.

That seems one step more drastic than what I did.

Thanks,
