For Samsung LT kernel, we have followed an approach where in the commits in John's linaro_config_3.3 branch are taken to be stable commits and we have put those commits as the very first set of commits on LT kernel. Our LT kernel being a _serialized_ kernel where topic branches sit one over the other, the related config fragments are made part of the topic branches.
A sample view of the same is posted at [1].

The Samsung tree has the non samsung config files, like linaro-base.conf. I was wondering if that would cause merge problems if every LT had them and at possibly different versions. I guess it doesn't matter so long as all LTs got them from the same definitive 'upstream' source, and that they didn't edit them.
I think it makes sense if this 'upstream' doesn't include board files though, they should come from LT trees.
We also need a better upstream than John's personal Android tree :-)
