There's a suggestion to have this config include OCTEON1 (on which this is based) and then set a couple of ident/options. I didn't take that approach here because OCTEON1 includes a whole bunch of devices not relevant to the ERL, which has no PCI bus and doesn't support AHCI, RAID controllers, PCI NICs, etc. In my opinion the device is small enough that we don't want to bloat the kernel with devices that cannot be used. To do so while still including OCTEON1 we'd end up with a config file that's just about as long as this, full of nodevice / nooption lines. Perhaps it makes sense to pull some common parts out into a MIPS.common (e.g. options, USB devices, etc.) and include that from OCTEON1, ERL, and other MIPS configurations?
