Hi Michael,

While testing build the next branch on my Loongarch machine, kernel 
6.18.54 builds fine, but if I upgrade the kernel to say 7.1.1. it errors 
out with:

cd /usr/src/linux-7.1.1 && cp -vf /usr/src/config/kernel/ipfire_logo.ppm \
         drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.ppm
'/usr/src/config/kernel/ipfire_logo.ppm' -> 
'drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.ppm'
# Fetch the configuration
/bin/sh /usr/src/src/kernel/configure --kernel-dir="/usr/src/linux-7.1.1" 
merge \
         "loongarch64" "generic" "/usr/src/linux-7.1.1/.config"
# Fail if the configuration does not answer all questions
cd /usr/src/linux-7.1.1 && if make -s listnewconfig | grep "^CONFIG_"; 
then \
         echo "The kernel configuration is incomplete for loongarch64" >&2; 
\
         exit 1; \
fi

make: *** [linux:162: /usr/src/log/linux-7.1.1] Error 1

It is probably kernel 7.1.1 has new CONFIG that make -s listnewconfig does 
not like. If I put make oldconfig before make -s listnewconfig, it 
resolves thie issue
