Do you have any form of automation when dealing with breaking drivers? If I could reduce the necessary time for creating a working allyesconfig, that would be quite nice. Allyesconfig has a couple of advantages. The analysis of object files is must simpler with just vmlinux to worry about. And some errors don't show up until link time, not sure if you can catch all of them with allmodconfig.
