It's awesome to see upstream support for contemporary consumer
products being posted, thanks!

When it comes to a dedicated defconfig, is that necessary in this
case? The needed drivers should be possible to enable either in
imx_v6_v7_defconfig, or in multi_v7_defconfig (or, rather, both)?

Adding new defconfigs is something we're avoiding as much as possible,
since it adds CI overhead, and defconfigs easily get churny due to
options moving around.

In some cases we do it once per SoC family (i.e. the i.MX defconfigs),
but we avoid it for products.
