[PATCH 1/1] arm64: defconfig: Make I2C_QCOM_GENI built-in

From: Viken Dadhaniya

Date: Wed Dec 03 2025 - 21:21:43 EST


Require I2C over GENI during early boot on some Qualcomm platforms to
initialize GPIO expanders that control SD card detection. Without this
driver built-in, the kernel cannot detect the root filesystem device
when modules are unavailable.

Make I2C_QCOM_GENI built-in to ensure these systems can boot without
an initramfs.
