From: Alvin Šipraga <[email protected]>

CONFIG_MULTIPLEXER can only be enabled indirectly. If it's not already
enabled, then CONFIG_PINCTRL_GENERIC_MUX cannot be selected at all in
menuconfig. That's because it depends on MULTIPLEXER.

Follow similar consumers of the multiplexer core and select MULTIPLEXER
instead. This way the driver will be visible in menuconfig as long as
PINCTRL is selected.
