Description

Can get the kernel config, patches, and overlay files directly from Armbian's repository at https://github.com/armbian/build. There are directories for each supported subarch. Probably don't want to try to support all the vendor-supplied kernel versions... instead, use the latest one possible.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Armbian build repository linked in the issue, especially its directories for supported subarchitectures, kernel configurations, patches, and overlays. Determine how this project represents source definitions, then identify the latest usable kernel version rather than covering every vendor version. Done means an armbian-sources definition provides the selected version and subarchitecture-specific files, with any relevant project checks passing.
