Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 19:57:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151122035702.9313.52457.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.jf.intel.com> (raw)

Let all the archs that implement CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM use a common
definition in lib/Kconfig.debug.

Note, the 'depends on !SPARC' is due to sparc not implementing
devmem_is_allowed().
