[PATCH RESEND v3] ARM: multi_v7_defconfig add /proc/config.gz

[PATCH RESEND v3] ARM: multi_v7_defconfig add /proc/config.gz

[David Heidelberg via B4 Relay]

From: David Heidelberg <david@ixit.cz>

While 32-bit ARM isn't that widespread, multi_v7_defconfig is used for
building more generic images, where having access to config can be handy.

arm64 and x86_64 already bundle config.gz, so this is an effort to provide
the same level of comfort with ARMv7 devices.

Config patches go via soc - either submaintainers or directly - so with
your cc list it is unlikely it will be ever applied.
