Orange Pi 3 LTS is not Rockchip, does that matter?

Can we stop building modules for hardware that doesn't exist on the target device? My observation is that we seem to be building the entire kernel tree, but correct me if I'm wrong. Let's see if we can only build hardware that actually exists on the device instead of building everything. For example, my Pine64 doesn't even have WiFi but dozens of WiFi drivers are built. Same with my Orange Pi 3 LTS, it has BlueTooth and WiFi, but doesn't need the several dozen other BlueTooth and WiFi devices built into its kernel modules directory. Thanks!

Can we remove the downloading of Linaro and other build dependencies from the build process? That would save so much time and bandwidth. Most of us are able to obtain and install the Linaro and other dependencies for our build systems on our own. Let's figure out how to avoid doing this on each and every clean build of Armbian. I have lots of bandwidth and the build doesn't even start after it takes ten to twenty minutes downloading these packages. Thanks, and I appreciate any comments on this request.

Does "orangepi3" also support Orange Pi 3 LTS? The board looks different from the Orange Pi 3 on the download page and has a different number of USB ports.
