The blocks started with ``file: <path>/Kconfig[.ext]`` should be sorted alphabetically. Fix the sort order so that they are.
Move the various USB module configuration options under their appropriate header. This makes it easier to see to what category they belong and where to look in the kernel sources. It's also the catogorization as used by the Debian kernel, which makes comparing with that easier.
The ``I2C_COMPAT`` module was dropped due to upstream commit 7e72208 ("i2c: Remove I2C_COMPAT config symbol and related code") Link: https://git.kernel.org/linus/7e722083fcc3e148838fc3dc2486c498908c4677
The CYTTSP4 modules were dropped due to upstream commit 25162a4 ("Input: cyttsp4 - remove driver") Link: https://git.kernel.org/linus/25162a4f64f8ba0065f300977589fe1f6af332f0
Before updating the configuration, let's categorize them first.
Cryptography, which includes hashing algorithms, are used in MANY places and you want to use the modules provided by the kernel, so enable the most common ones as modules, just like is being done in the Debian kernel package. Only make CRYPTO_SHA256 built-in just like the Debian kernel even though the precise reason for that does not apply here. Also enable support for crypto hardware modules.

Several modules were defined more then once, 2 went from "XZY is not set" to being defined and the others were just defined twice.
Categorize the modules under the ``/net/`` directory. It's (quite) possible I missed several, but those can be added later. The networking drivers, which can be found under ``/drivers/net``, are deliberately not part of this commit. Drop ``WIRELESS_EXT`` as that module is not user selectable.
Primary motivation for updating was removing the ``CFG80211_WEXT`` module as Wireless Extensions have been deprecated for over a decade now, so there really is no reason to enable it for the PineNote. Furthermore, make the config more in line with Debian's, but don't include the ones Debian has because they want to support ancient stuff.
Enable the modules for strongSwan's IPsec support. While at it, also enable ``INET_DIAG`` as that's really useful. Link: https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/latest/install/kernelModules.html
