Unnecessary since you already did the make oldconfig
Actually, this is central point. The NEW hardware most likely
defaults to 'n'. Evan has to check that it is 'y' or 'm'.
I use "make olddefconfig" just to avoid all those questions about
NEW parameters. There would be a lot, going from 6.14 to 6.17.
Usually, I don't care, because I don't have all those hardwares.
I can go directly to "make menuconfig", but the menu dialog hides
messages that may or may not be relevant. So, I make sure
"olddefconfig" passes without messages. Then, I go to
"menuconfig" to adjust those NEW parameters, if what I need is
different from the defaults.
After things are installed (to /boot and /lib/modules), Evan has
to add to grub menu. It's been long time since I did that, so
can't write off top of my head.
