Most impactful change is probably reverting #8276 but also other inconsistency-introducing changes. |

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the modern recommended approach for kernel configuration is to use the kernel-config command via "./compile.sh BOARD=boardname BRANCH=branchname kernel-config" instead of the deprecated KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes flag. This provides a two-step workflow: configure using menuconfig, then build, with better transparency and control over configuration changes.

Learning: Armbian kernel configuration files like linux-filogic-current.config are autogenerated overlays on top of arch defconfig. Comments added manually will be lost during future updates by maintainers, and explicit "CONFIG_OPTION is not set" statements aren't needed for mutually exclusive options since these are overlay configs that only specify changes from the base configuration.

Learning: In Linux kernel configuration, some `=y` (builtin) options are infrastructure or feature flags that enable subsystems or features for modular drivers, rather than directly compiling code into the kernel. For example, in Armbian wireless configs, options like CONFIG_SPARD_WLAN_SUPPORT=y, CONFIG_SC23XX=y, CONFIG_WCN_BSP_DRIVER_BUILDIN=y, CONFIG_UNISOC_WIFI_PS=y are module infrastructure/feature enablers, while the actual drivers (CONFIG_WLAN_UWE5621=m, CONFIG_WLAN_UWE5622=m) remain as loadable modules. These infrastructure options don't cause kernel bloat.

123-144: Dismiss the CONFIG_ prefix concern — scripts/config handles both formats correctly.The original review comment's critical issue is based on a misunderstanding. The Linux kernel's
scripts/configtool automatically accepts option names with or without theCONFIG_prefix, strips the prefix if present, and normalizes the entry when writing to.config. The inconsistency acrossopts_y,opts_n, andopts_marrays in the codebase does not cause failures; it is handled transparently by the tool.The code in config/sources/families/meson-s4t7.conf (lines 123-144) is correct as-is. The
kernel_config_modifying_hashesentry for tracking git source changes is appropriately scoped within theif [[ ! -f .config ]]condition.Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

Learning: Armbian kernel configuration files like linux-filogic-current.config are autogenerated overlays on top of arch defconfig. Comments added manually will be lost during future updates by maintainers, and explicit "CONFIG_OPTION is not set" statements aren't needed for mutually exclusive options since these are overlay configs that only specify changes from the base configuration.

Learning: In PR armbian/build#8661, line 235 of lib/functions/compilation/armbian-kernel.sh already contains the corrected comment "BPF link support for netfilter hooks" for NETFILTER_BPF_LINK, not the misleading "BPF_SYSCALL" comment that was flagged during review.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes switch is deprecated. The recommended approach for kernel configuration is now to use the `kernel-config` build command, which provides a more structured way to configure kernel options.

12-517: LGTM! Comprehensive refactoring successfully implemented.The refactoring to use opt-arrays (opts_n, opts_y, opts_m, opts_val) for kernel configuration is well-executed:
- Documentation clearly explains the consistency requirements and deferred-application approach
- All CONFIG_ prefix issues from previous reviews have been resolved
- The
armbian_kernel_config_apply_opts_from_arraysfunction correctly handles all array types including the newly added opts_m support- Loop variables are consistently declared and used throughout
- The approach eliminates the inconsistency of reading .config to determine what should be in .config

- one shall NOT use the contents of .config to determine what's in the .config - also: introduce `opts_m` for armbian_kernel_config_apply_opts_from_arrays()
…g_apply_opts_from_arrays` - so hashes and changes are consistent
- call_extensions_kernel_config() now declares the vars and calls armbian_kernel_config_apply_opts_from_arrays() at the end - so each individual hook doesn't need to - adapt family code using the old way too
- also fix for opt_m logging mismatch caught by the AI
… .config decide) - some families want builtin, some want modules, let each decide
