help
This option is an SPL-variant of the PINMUX option.
See the help of PINMUX for details.
+ The pinctrl subsystem can add a substantial overhead to the SPL
+ image since it typically requires quite a few tables either in the

+ to adjust pin multiplexing in SPL in order to boot into U-Boot,
+ enable this option. You will need to enable device tree in SPL
