Hi,

I guess it makes it more apparent, that the symbol is specific to a
arch/soc. Tegra is a well known SoC, so its easy to figure out what the
codes purpose is. Other files might not be that easy to guess.

For the Lantiq SoC to function normally we need to always load these
drivers. PINTCTRL_LANTIQ has some generic functions and
PINTCTRL_LANTIQ_XWAY holds the code specific to the XWAY SoC. (i have a
patch in the local queue to add FALCON SoC support, giving
PINTCTRL_LANTIQ 2 users)

How about we do the following.

config LANTIQ
	select PINCTRL

config PINCTRL_LANTIQ
	def_bool y
	depends on LANTIQ

config PINCTRL_LANTIQ_XWAY
	def_bool y
	depends on SOC_TYPE_XWAY

This would auto select the right symbols, have all the dependency logic
in 1 place and reduce the size of arch/mips/lantiq/Kconfig

Thanks,
John
