Yes, we have several x86 configurations. But you may be right that
Type-C is less common than I thought.

cip-kernel-config/4.19.y-cip-rt/x86:
siemens_i386-rt.config	siemens_i386-rt.sources

cip-kernel-config/4.19.y-cip/x86:
plathome_obsvx2.config	   siemens_ipc227e.sources
plathome_obsvx2.sources    siemens_server_defconfig
siemens_iot2000.config	      siemens_server.sources
siemens_iot2000.sources    toshiba_atom_baytrail_cip.config
siemens_ipc227e_defconfig  toshiba_atom_baytrail_cip.sources

I believe that general approach of the patches is okay. You should not
need to do big changes.
