Just for fun, a few things you can probably disable without much downsides:

SYSVIPC could be disabled in principle for most embedded systems

SYSFS_DEPRECATED can probably go, initramfs would be smaller than initrd

SLOB would be smaller than SLAB, kexec is often not needed.

I have no idea why SWIOTLB is always enabled on ARM, I suspect that's a bug, and disabling it would save some space (need to change arm/Kconfig)

I suspect you don't use MTD_BLOCK

Loop and RAM could be loadable modules, if that saves space in the end. If modules are actually larger, you can have everything built-in. > # > # Serial drivers > # > CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON=y > CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y > # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS is not set > CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y > CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DMA=y > # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI is not set > CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=2 > CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=2 > # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED is not set > CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_FSL=y
No need for 8250_FSL or 8250_DMA on your hardware

It looks like you get two GPIO drivers for the same hardware. We should probably change this so you only need one of the two.

You probably don't have a PCI EHCI

module

probably not needed since you have no specific driver for it.

EXT2 no longer needs to be built when EXT4 is enabled, you can just use the EXT4 code to mount EXT2 file systems.

XFS is huge. If you don't need it, that would likely save more than anything else.
> CONFIG_MINIX_FS=y
minixfs is almost never needed, but small.

NFS and NFSD are also pretty big, but I assume you need them.
