We have several "defconfigs" that are not actually full defconfigs
they are just a base set of options which are then merged with other
fragments to produce a working defconfig.

The most obvious example is corenet_basic_defconfig which only
contains one symbol CONFIG_CORENET_GENERIC=y. But there is also
mpc85xx_base_defconfig which doesn't actually enable CONFIG_PPC_85xx.

To avoid confusion, rename these config fragments to "foo_base.config"
to make it clearer that they are not full defconfigs.

Adding linux-kbuild, maybe we can make the handling of these fragments
generic and actually document it..

The default values from Kconfig files are used
where CONFIG options are not specified by the defconfig.

So, I think corenet_basic_defconfig is a full defconfig
even if it contains a single CONFIG option.

Since the difference between "*_defconfig" and "*.config"
is ambiguous in some cases, it depends on the intended usage.

I do not know how it should be documented.

That's technically true, but it's not a full defconfig in the sense that
it doesn't define a meaningful set of options for building for a
specific machine. In fact if you build it you get a .config that doesn't
include the one option it defines, CONFIG_CORENET_GENERIC=y.

I'm pretty sure all the existing foo.config files are fragments that are
intended to be merged with an existing .config or other fragments.

ie:

These are fragments:
  arch/arm/configs/dram_0x00000000.config
  arch/arm/configs/dram_0xc0000000.config
  arch/arm/configs/dram_0xd0000000.config

These are all fragments:
  arch/powerpc/configs/be.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/book3s_32.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/altivec.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-hw.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/guest.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-smp.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-64bit.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/dpaa.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-32bit.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/fsl-emb-nonhw.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/86xx-smp.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/le.config
  arch/powerpc/configs/86xx-hw.config

Pretty sure these all are, they're used in gen_generic_defconfigs in arch/mips/Makefile:
  arch/mips/configs/generic/board-xilfpga.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ocelot.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ni169445.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/32r6.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/64r1.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/32r1.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/64r6.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/eb.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/micro32r2.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/32r2.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/board-boston.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/el.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ranchu.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/64r2.config
  arch/mips/configs/generic/board-sead-3.config

These are also both fragments:
  arch/x86/configs/tiny.config
  arch/x86/configs/xen.config
