Well, I copied .config from my old kernel, ran oldconfig then menuconfig
to check on a couple things.  Everything looked normal enough for me
system.  I did say no to the new stuff tho.  My old kernel works fine so
I am really only updating the kernel.

I'm not sure what you mean by "firmware drivers"?  I don't use modules
but it does have a couple that are default and can't get rid of.
