3e4b91800a In order to build a kernel with one of these configs the user should do
the following:

1. Give the appropriate board dts file to be used by either:
1.1. edit the SoC kernel config required (e.g., MT7620A_FDT) and include
the required FDT_DTS_FILE makeoption; or
1.2. simply supply FDT_DTS_FILE="xx.dts" on the command line when building
the kernel
Of course, the user can also create a completely new kernel config to
match the desired board and include the SoC kernel config from within
it.

If required, edit the MEDIATEK config file, which includes optional
drivers and comment out the unneeded ones.
2.1. this would only make sense if kernel size is a concern. Even if we
build the kernel with all drivers, if we lzma it and package it as a uImage,
its size is still around 1.1MiB.

The user will have to choose a dts file (or create a new one) from
sys/gnu/dts/mips , where all Mediatek/Ralink dts files will be imported via
a later revision.
