Some Alder Lake systems, such as those using the PixArt I2C touchpad (PIXA3848),
reuse GPIO IP blocks similar to Tiger Lake. As a result, enabling
CONFIG_PINCTRL_TIGERLAKE may be required for proper I2C device detection.

Document this in the Kconfig help text to assist users encountering this issue.
