I had 'defconfig' in alongside linux-quirky_4.10.bb, however when ran "bitbake linux-quirky"
got this error:

...that is interesting, can put 'defconfig' into a target-arch specific folder, so
have put it into meta-quirky/recipes-kernel/linux/files/pcx86-64

# bitbake linux-quirky
applies my defconfig, and creates:
/mnt/sda1/projects/oe/oe-quirky/buildQ/tmp-glibc/work/pcx86_64-oe-linux/linux-quirky/4.10.9+gitAUTOINC+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0/linux-pcx86_64-standard-build/.config
...which I have copied here, as DOTconfigFINAL ...for comparison, interesting changes
from my defconfig.
