NAK, not only is selecting user-visible symbols generally frowned upon, 
and ignoring their dependencies even worse, but for a multiplatform 
kernel the user may well want this to be a module.

If having the SMMU driver built-in is somehow fundamentally required for 
this platform to boot, that would represent much bigger problems.

Thanks,
Robin.

The SoC can boot without SMMU and PDMA, but not GIC, pinctrl or the arch 
timer. I see that most other SoCs still select drivers and frameworks they 
presumably need for booting, with the exceptions of ARCH_BITMAIN, ARCH_LG1K 
and a couple others. Which of these two options should I go for?

Regards,
Duje

Well, you don't really need to select ARM_GIC or ARM_ARCH_TIMER here 
either, since those are already selected by ARM64 itself. Keeping 
PINCTRL_SINGLE is fair, although you should also select PINCTRL as its 
dependency.

As an additional nit, the file seems to be primarily ordered by symbol 
name, so it might be nice to slip ARCH_MMC in between ARCH_MESON and 
ARCH_MVEBU.

Cheers,
Robin.
