They do something different. 'olddefconfig' just takes the platform or
architecture defconfig and updates it for any new CONFIG_* variables added
since the last time the defconfig was updated in the tree.
yes "" | make oldconfig does the same updating for new CONFIG_* variables, but
starts with the most recent .config - which produces wildly different results
if the .config had previously been minimized by 'make localmodconfig' or other
similar techniques.
