Which pinctrl? Which PCIe? Which GPIO device? Read it again and follow
its meaning and tell me if following understanding is correct:
"Pinctrl is used on Radxa Orion O6 board which Sky1 therefore I enable
Pinctrl Samsung".

Did you look at existing history for this type of changes? This is
triviality so I don't understand why we keep bugging for that simple
answer to describe WHY you are doing something.
