Indeed, and the bug[0] reported here is that -generic doesn't use 
these configurations at all:

(define-public linux-libre-arm64-generic
 (make-linux-libre* linux-libre-version
                    linux-libre-source

                    (append
                     `(;; needed to fix the RTC on rockchip 
                     platforms
                       ("CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RK808" . #t))
                     %default-extra-linux-options)))

Note the missing #:configuration-file.

[0]: I don't know if this is really a bug--in fact I suspect it's 
the raison d'être of this variant--but this needs to be better 
documented and perhaps even renamed.  To me, ‘generic’ means 
‘distro default’, or perhaps ‘sanely minimal’, not ‘our own 
upstream's sometimes questionable defconfig that can't boot our 
own desktop’.

Allegedly.

Kind regards,

T G-R
