We would really appreciate if you send this config!

At last year's FOSDEM buildroot developer meeting, we decided to support
this type of scenario (see [1]). The config file should be named
something like ariag25_demo_terra_defconfig.

Support files should go into that folder, but the defconfig itself
should be in configs/
Make sure that you submit the ariag25_defconfig and the
ariag25_demo_terra_defconfig as separate patches, and that the first
patch doesn't contain anything that isn't needed by the basic defconfig.
Thanks a lot!
