Hi Conor,

Thanks for the question.

Our next step is to upstream the pinctrl driver together with the related
DTS updates. The pinctrl series only affects the SoC’s low-speed peripheral
interfaces. For GMAC, SPI, I2C, and GPIO, we plan to use the existing
kernel drivers, so no new controller drivers are needed

I’ll drop the SoC description part from the Kconfig help text as you
suggested.
