Most other will have a "default MACH_<foo>", but Uniphier lacks those Kconfig
symbols. Or even a def_bool for that platform such that it's not an option if
the platform is enabled. It makes no sense to enable a platform but not the
pinctrl on it, so that's a good way to do it.

I would honestly rather have those in the mach makefile, and make the drivers
select the right thing by default, than having to know exactly which drivers to
enable for a specific SoC.
