From my understanding, defconfig is for a minimal config that allows to boot a
machine. As MTK_DEVAPC is a rather exotic driver to detect bus access
violations, I think it's not a good candidate for inclusion in defconfig.

In any case, I added the SoC maintainer, so that they can correct me, if I'm
wrong :)
I generally don't mind adding platform specific drivers as loadable modules
even if they are somewhat obscure. For built-in drivers, this is
different though,
as those have a noticeable impact on other platforms.

I haven't kept track of what this particular driver does, but from the Kconfig
description, I'd say it should get enabled in defconfig.
Thanks for the feedback Arnd.
Applied now to v5.11-next/defconfig
