I am use igors lib to get an suffucently patches kernel source  for bana Pi R1
and for test builds i use this script for my unattened kernel builds.
 
This allows directly install an fresh kernel and make an backup of the old kernel.
 
my custom kernel .config is then at $REL stored and used .
 
 
usage path : run igors compile.sh ,
                    wait till the source download done ,
                   do an CRTL-C once the kernel wants to compile from his lib
              
then i.e :
 
fw1 /t/GIT/output/linux-mainline # cp .config /t/GIT/.test5
fw1 /t/GIT/output/linux-mainline # /t/GIT/build.sh
Usage: /t/GIT/build.sh {build|timestamp|clean|install|install_uImage|install_dtbs|install_modules|install_uImage|install_headers|kversion|backup}
fw1 /t/GIT/output/linux-mainline # /t/GIT/build.sh build

my answer for OTG disabling on OLD  kernels :
 
any ARM kernel below 3.11 known to have a lot of harsch bugs  that make USB useless , system unstable.
so STOP use kernel 3.4.
 
- 0 read CERT allerts for OUTdated kernels
 - 0.1 most OTG bugs had been beed 2 years ago on ARM6 & 7  with kernel 3.12.x and up on rasberry PI's
  see at git //github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git for OTG armhf patches.
 
-1 update kernel
   Kick the old 3.4.x kernels of your desk and servers.
 
 use https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib, with
KERNEL_ONLY="yes" and KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" re-enable complete USB stuff , as modules , INCLUDE OTG
 
- 2 if custom kernel modules , port them , give igor patches .

@dear Igior and others
 
 
My R1 fw1 run fine past 2 month with the 3.19.3. now its time to move to 4.0.x

Igor - many thanks for KERNEL_CONFIGURE at your scripting implementing .
This shortcut my work with automated rebuild kernel  an bit  -- but not fully.
 
I have the need to been able to push my own kernel .config into your https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib in an automated way.

But how about to push an custom .config into that?
welll ... My suggestion are here top add i.e at your compile.sh : KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG="/path/file"
 
 
if file env set , use it instead from default patched kernel .config

How you think about this Idea ?
