I am not sure what you are doing in this refresh - can you share the 
steps? I guess that you sync with the savedefconfig and then manually 
edit the resultant defconfig to restore the configs which were getting 
deleting (and not just moved around).

For me - as you may expect - I do the following for the sync:
make defconfig
make savedefconfig
mv defconfig arch/arm64/configs/defconfig

ok, I can check them.
