[PATCH] arm64: defconfig: make TPS6594 support build-in

[Michael Walle]

The Kontron SMARC-sAM67 module needs the TPS6594 regulator driver to
boot from SD card, i.e. for its root filesystem.

Arnd, the PR from TI [1] (which contains the device trees for this
board) is already out, so I'm sending this to the soc ML directly. 
Let me know if this can still be applied, if not, I'll have to wait
for the next window.

Why it cannot go via TI tree? It should...

As explained above it can of course, but I've missed the time window
as the PR from the TI tree to the soc tree was already sent out.

For why I'm sending this to the soc ML, Arnd once told me to send
defconfig changes to the soc ML (commit 066f5f4c7967 for example).

This alone would justify for anyone to send directly to soc@ when they
miss their upstream maintainer timeframes, so sorry, but that's the way.
Time window in TI can still take it. If they cannot, then for sure soc@
cannot, because soc@ takes from TI.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Fair point. Sorry for the noise.

That's a non-platform specific patch, so a completely different rule.
Which SoC tree would take it? None. So your only chances was via soc@.
Which SoC tree should take TI-related patch? TI.
