Not really an argument: if you select 'devtmpfs' as the /dev management method and you build your kernel outside of Buildroot, you have to enable CONFIG_DEVTMPFS + CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT, otherwise things won't work. I don't see what it shouldn't be the same for the hotplug helper selection: if you're building the kernel with Buildroot, then things are taken care of automatically, otherwise you're on your own.
