Because you didn't do a git commit.
Also, your file is a full .config file, while defconfig have to be
minimal configuration files.
So basically, you have do:
1/ make savedefconfig
2/ mv defconfig configs/sama5d4ek_defconfig
3/ git add configs/sama5d4ek_defconfig
4/ git commit -s
5/ git format-patch ...
Note that my colleague Alexandre Belloni has anyway planned to do a
refresh of all the Atmel defconfig in Buildroot.
Best regards,
Thomas
