What do you mean with enable (=m, =y)? The kernel has it built in ...
but it does not come up because it does not find an ACPI table entry
nor a p2sb PCI device.

When with enable you mean ... repair the pinctrl drivers with your
patches, i am afraid i am not qualified and hardly responsible. It is
not "simple" for me. I will test and switch to pinctrl .... but here i
am tired of waiting and pushing/asking to turn the order of patches
around.

Or can i trigger the pinctrl driver to probe from my init/probe?
