I'll generate a new arm/arm64 config for the 6.7.x series that doesn't
fall behind the 6.6.x series config; and will test it on my pinebook pro
at least before sending in a patch.
Although I have yet to pin down why this happened in the 6.7.x update as
I didn't do anything significantly different than while preparing the
6.6.x series (e.g. copying the old config, running makeconfig and
enabling as much support as possible in the prompts).
So far as a quick rundown:
λ rg -f <(rg --pcre2 -o '.*(?=\=y)' 6.6-arm64.conf | awk '{print $0 ".*not
set"}') 6.7-arm64.conf | wc -l
678
678 config options that previously have been set aren't set anymore.

I hacked together a simple script based on the 6.6.x series platform
selection to use with new releases to check, that all platforms that
have been enabled before stay enabled. But maybe a better way would be
to use #:extra-options in the *-arm-generic package definitions to
ensure there, that the options will stay enabled at least for the ones
mentioned above. WDYT?

Agreed.
