Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your response.

If the OE build kernel config step can be disabled to compile kernel
using customer defconfig, that will make users life much easier to
disable unwanted kernel drivers and features.

The customer defconfig can be certainly generated from bitbake -c
menuconfig, but honestly, the kernel configure selection is not easier
to understand, we have to use defconfig to disable unwanted the
configures and tested it, inadvertently disable some configures could
cause kernel panic regardless if the OE build system config step is
running or not.

I have searched the internet, it is not just me, there are many others
who requested to run customer defconfig without OE build kernel config
step.

Are you a contributor in the OE dev team? Are there any reasons why
the OE dev team won't consider this feature?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

jupiter
