Thanks for you reply, I never considered downloading some additional configuration files myself.

This is what I did:

cd output/build/linux-6.1.14/arch/arm/configs
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberrypi/linux/rpi-6.1.y/arch/arm/configs/bcm2711_defconfig
make

buildprocess was successful

Sorry, I wasn't very precise, there might be two ways getting a linux image with support for a special device and I didn't really know which way to chose.

And sorry for html format, Outlook is a mess and it got worse after they switched to ribbons.
