9 I'm always using "make olddefconfig" rather than "make oldconfig" and
10 had no problems upgrading to 5.10. After running "make olddefconfig" I
11 use "diff" to compare the new configuration to a backup copy of the old
12 one, and should something catch my eye I'm correcting it using "make
13 menuconfig" as usual.
