This is not an on-SoC pinctrl, so it should be module (=m).
The stmmac is in built-in, if IO-Expander (MCP23S08) is on module, we
have huge of message during kernel boot

because stmmac driver is deferred several times. (need to wait that
module are ready)
Which is normal and not a reason to change defconfig. It it was a
problem, you should solve it not in defconfig but in kernel. That's just
defconfig, an example, reference or debugging tool if you wish, so
fixing issue here is not a fix at all.
Ok so it will not be possible to boot in NFS mode

Best regards,
