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
