While that is possibly true in most cases, wouldn't it be possible to use a kernel for an i.MX platform without having pinctrl support in the kernel. If bootloader or something else before the running kernel have setup pin functions properly. By reverting the change, you will also make it impossible to do this without patching the kernel. But if not breaking existing defconfigs is more important than allowing flexible configurations on the short term, then I guess that is how it should go. > Fixes: 17d210018914 ("ARM: imx: Allow user to disable pinctrl") > Reported-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> > Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/49ff070a-ce67-42d7-84ec-8b54fd7e9742@roeck-us.net/ > Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam <festevam@denx.de> > --- > Changes since v1: > - Reintroduce "select PINCTRL" as a minimal fix for 6.13-rc. > > arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig > index e4fe059cd861..dc47b2312127 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig > +++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig > @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ menuconfig ARCH_MXC > select CLKSRC_IMX_GPT > select GENERIC_IRQ_CHIP > select GPIOLIB > + select PINCTRL > select PM_OPP if PM > select SOC_BUS > select SRAM Instead of doing this at top level ARCH_MXC level, it could also be done at the SOC level. Something like diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig index e4fe059cd861..26d29dea1721 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig @@ -59,6 +59,7 @@ config SOC_IMX1 bool "i.MX1 support" select CPU_ARM920T select MXC_AVIC + select PINCTRL help This enables support for Freescale i.MX1 processor That way existing defconfigs should work as before, while SOC_LS1021A builds would be able to leave out pinctrl. Even thouh LS1021A is clearly officially a Layerscape SoC, I think the reasons for it being placed in mach-imx is that the effort needed to not do that is more than it might be worth. /Esben

Fabio are you pushing this in through the SoC tree as it's ARM-only or am I expected to push it through pin control? I expected SoC but asking because I don't want it to end up in limbo.

Could you please apply it via the pinctrl tree so that it can land in 6.13-rc1 to avoid the regression? Thanks
