Request to enable CONFIG_PINCTRL_BROXTON to support Apollo Lake processor watchdog module

We are running balenaOS on a Motium TUFF Panel PC which recently upgraded to Apollo Lake processor. The device details are:
Device uuid: 372920302737533d90dd38490c96cc3f
Device type: Intel NUC
OS version: balenaOS 5.3.25+rev5
Supervisor version: 16.4.1

We found that the Apollo Lake GPIO watchdog driver depends on PINCTRL_BROXTON; hence we need this kernel config to be enabled in order to use the watchdog.

All our future Motium devices only have new processor available so will all need this kernel config activated.

I’ve created an Issue (Request to enable PINCTRL_BROXTON support in the kernel for Apollo Lake processor watchdog module · Issue #759 · balena-os/balena-intel · GitHub) and a Pull Request (Enable PINCTRL_BROXTON support in the kernel by memoryrs · Pull Request #758 · balena-os/balena-intel · GitHub) on balenaOS GitHub to support this request in the hope of speeding up the process.

Thanks.

It looks like this configuration was added into the OS already as per the linked PR
