pinctrl: tegra: expose config options for individual SoCs

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com>

I'm planning to remove CONFIG_ARCH_TEGRA_*_SOC, leaving just ARCH_TEGRA.
This will reduce the number of configurations that need to be supported
by core Tegra code, e.g. CPU idle, hotplug. As a precursor, we need to
update Kconfig for all Tegra drivers not to reference ARCH_TEGRA_*_SOC.

The Tegra pinctrl driver contains a fairly large amount of SoC-specific
code and data. Introduce explicit config options so that the user can
trim the set of supported SoCs if they wish. Default these to on, since
most people will probably want to enable support for all SoCs. This also
avoids the need to change any defconfig files.

I'd like to defer actually applying this patch. There is some discussion
(in the thread for the equivalent ASoC patches) re: the best way to
handle the ARCH_TEGRA_*_SOC Kconfig options which might affect this
patch. Any review comment is still appreciated.

Just poke me when the discussion settles.

I'm totally unenlightened on this issue myself so not of much
help...
