Why? I don't know anything about this setting, but I note you said "built in", and not "enabled", implying that it's a driver. Why should kernel+dtb+initramfs not allow this driver to be dynamically loaded for the hardware where it's needed? OTOH, maybe the problem is the poster is trying to boot without an initramfs...
