Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ARM: multi_v7_defconfig: Enable common Rockchip devices/busses

Hi
     There are also many other devices like display and mmc and even
the cpu(if the cpu want run a high frequency when boot up)need to
get power supply from PMIC, so it is better to load PMIC as early as
possible.Built-in is a better choice.
