For memory constrained board only.

Currently, all basic drivers auto enabled by mach-sunplus/Kconfig:
...
config SOC_SP7021
	bool "Sunplus SP7021 SoC support"
	depends on ARCH_SUNPLUS
	default ARCH_SUNPLUS
	select ARM_GIC
	select ARM_PSCI
	select PINCTRL
	select PINCTRL_SPPCTL
	select SERIAL_SUNPLUS
	select SERIAL_SUNPLUS_CONSOLE

and driver's Kconfig:
...
config RESET_SUNPLUS
        bool "Sunplus SoCs Reset Driver" if COMPILE_TEST
        default ARCH_SUNPLUS
...

I'll move this to mach-sunplus/Kconfig.

I’ll drop it.


Thanks all your comments.
