Why are you enabling these?
Are they required for booting the board?
If not, they shall not be enabled, as it just clutters the arm64 defconfig
unnecessarily.
They are required because the SD card regulators need gpio over i2c expander
and also
soc gpio support to come up in UHS modes.
Is that needed for boot support? If it is only needed with UHS cards,
that does not seem important enough for me. We can already boot the
board via other means.
But in general isn't any feature we add supposed to be enabled in the arm64
defconfig?
That is debatable, as it just increases the kernel size / build time for
everybody. Personally I would merge only things that are absolutely
necessary, for everything else we can just do local config modifications.
