A question for whoever can provide the answer. I have a kernel defconfig with everything built-in. However, I want to compile a driver module against it for testing. So I enabled CONFING_MODULES, but as a side-effect several implicitly selected config options changed from CONFIG_FOO=y to CONFIG_FOO=m giving me slightly different kernel at least when looking at the vmlinux. So I just did sed -i 's/=m/=y/' .config, but I was wondering if that step can be avoided somehow?
