I was just trying to move "select PINCTRL" to a defconfig as Christian
suggested. However, CONFIG_PINCTRL is not selectable by a defconfig
file (the option will be gone by the time .config is generated), even
though PINCTRL has no dependency. Also, this option is not visible in
menuconfig.

I found that by adding a string after "bool" in the PINCTRL config
definition (see diff below), CONFIG_PINCTRL will be selectable in a
defconfig file and this option will also be visible in menuconfig.

Was this intentional or is this a bug? To address Christian's comment,
I'll need to add the following patch.

Regards,
Sherman
