No, you're wrong here:

memory: omap-gpmc: Fix unselectable debug option for GPMC

Commit 63aa945b1013 ("memory: omap-gpmc: Add Kconfig option for debug") added a debug option for GPMC, but somehow managed to keep it unselectable.

This probably happened because I had some uncommitted changes and the GPMC option is selected in the platform specific Kconfig.

Let's also update the description a bit, it does not mention that enabling the debug option also disables the reset of GPMC controller during the init as pointed out by Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> and Roger Quadros <rogerq@ti.com>.

That sound's right.

The result would be that a copy of the original mail would hit your mailbox if you asked per private mail (PM).
