Make sense

Right, it shouldn't, because there is a dependency on fs/debugfs.
It is building on my env, but maybe I don't have it fully cleaned.
I wonder, because in ice there wasn't a check (or select) for
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS for fwlog code.

Looks like LIBIE_FWLOG should select DEBUG_FS, right?
I will send v2 with that, if it is fine.

Thanks
