We do need to get rid of defconfigs, but we have to do so while keeping the resulting binary working and as of today, if you enable more than one transceiver driver, it won't work. >Ok.

I see that there will be boards with one too many transceivers enabled and the resulting binary won't work, but I'll leave that for Greg to decide. -- balbi
