If you patched the kernel-source with the prism54 patch you should
follow the instructions in the README and make sure the various modules
are selected. See 'Kernel requirements' and 'compilation' in the README.
The line above is only to compile the kernel and to put it in a nice
package. Note that you configuration will be saved in
/PATH/TO/SOURCE/.config so if you have applied a new patch you don't
have to configure again, you can leave out the --config=menuconfig part

It's not difficult, just readme the manuals ;) See for example
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/*
