It's nice to say which boards/SoCs use it which would justify why we
want it in defconfig.

Your last sentence brings no new information - it's kind of obvious for
every PMIC. Instead of redundant information add something actually
missing - why do we need it in defconfig, IOW, what platform needs it?
