Well, we've got several of these "development" defconfigs for
Atmel/Microchip platforms:

at91sam9x5ek_dev_defconfig
at91sam9x5ek_mmc_dev_defconfig
atmel_sama5d27_som1_ek_mmc_dev_defconfig
atmel_sama5d2_xplained_mmc_dev_defconfig
atmel_sama5d3_xplained_dev_defconfig
atmel_sama5d3_xplained_mmc_dev_defconfig
atmel_sama5d4_xplained_dev_defconfig
atmel_sama5d4_xplained_mmc_dev_defconfig
microchip_sam9x60ek_mmc_dev_defconfig
microchip_sama5d27_wlsom1_ek_mmc_dev_defconfig

There was quite some debate back then on whether we wanted them or not
in upstream Buildroot. Microchip has its own BR2_EXTERNAL layer at
https://github.com/linux4sam/buildroot-external-microchip with a bunch
of other defconfigs.

But Arnout, I thought you were inclined to having "demo" defconfigs in
Buildroot upstream. Have you changed your mind ?
