Amit Pundir c250cd6ebb ANDROID: configs: merge AOSP config fragments
Upstream now supports AOSP kernel config fragments:
commit 27eb6622ab ("config: add android config fragments").

This patch merge non-upstream AOSP config fragments from
android/configs/android-* of common kernel experimental/android-4.9
to kernel/configs/android-*.

Added initial set of AOSP config fragments and a README.android,
from AOSP Change-ID: I3a4883f3b04d2820e90ceb3c4d02390d6458d6ce
("android: configs: Initial commit of Android config fragments"),
to explain the purpose of Android config fragments and how to use
them to generate a device config compatible with Android.

The android-*.config files in this directory are meant to be used as a base
for an Android kernel config. All devices should have the options in
android-base.config enabled. While not mandatory, the options in
android-recommended.config enable advanced Android features.
Assuming you already have a minimalist defconfig for your device, a possible
way to enable these options would be:
ARCH=<arch> scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh <path_to>/<device>_defconfig kernel/configs/android-base.config kernel/configs/android-recommended.config
This will generate a .config that can then be used to save a new defconfig or
compile a new kernel with Android features enabled.
Because there is no tool to consistently generate these config fragments,
lets keep them alphabetically sorted instead of random.
