Thanks. Following Google Vera is either a "CPU" or entire architecture
(at least that's how they call it), so it does not have SPD5118 sensor.

"Nvidia vera socamm" gives me something about "rubin". It's not me who
should be guessing all this.

"nvidia vera socamm SPD5118" gives me even less, so justification is flaky.

To remind, this commit msg should convince why generic kernel for
developers affecting all possible platforms - not end users, because
they always use distro kernels - should enable these configs. And it
should bring me clear rule what I can or cannot remove from defconfig,
if in 2 years I come and start pruning it from symbols.

Best regards,
