This new target generates a .config if none exists yet.
Also drop the defconfig target with its hidden call to 'mrproper' which is fairly invasive. If users want to overwrite their kernel existing kernel configuration they can do so easily from the toplevel directory.
Hmmm I'm not sure about that one, I pretty much remember seeing failing arm64 builds when mrproper and prepare were missing.
I would argue that someone starting "make defconfig" does expect the config to be dropped, hence mrproper to be called as well.
What specific issue did you face with it ? Maybe we can restrict it to only a few cases ?
