Overall, my best advice here is still to not change the way
i.MX pinctrl works at all, but just fix Layerscape to not depend
on i.MX. The reason for the 'select' here is clearly that the
i.MX machines would fail to boot without pinctrl, and changing
that because of Layerscape seems backwards.

The suggestion to make Layerscape independent of i.MX makes sense, but
I don't know if it can be safely applied in 6.13-rc.

This proposed change also has the risk of causing regressions.

What if we revert the patch in Subject for now and then someone (maybe
Esben) tries again for a proper fix targeting 6.14?

What about your fix to the in-tree imx defconfigs [1]? Was it dropped/rejected?
