In addition to the comment made by Baruch about using a defconfig
fragment for Linux, I have another comment, see below.

This line probably need an additional comment above it, as it's not
U-Boot related.

But more importantly, since you're building a FAT filesystem image, you
also need:

BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_DOSFSTOOLS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_MTOOLS=y

Thanks!
