I will take care in next version.

I will add more description

Yes i agree. From #define no one can get hint of debugging.  It was 
intended.

This #define is created to overcome restriction of e500 v1 and v2 family 
processor. We can have this #define permanently enabled. That's why i 
did not create any CONFIG_ having DBG name.

Unfortunately this is a restriction for debugging.

V1_V2 is used because it applied to e500v1 and e500v2 not e500mc 
processor. So CONFIG_E500MC cant be used. Also I cant use CONFIG_E500 as 
it refer the entire e500 family which includes e500mc.

Thinking over lot of confusion over #define i should use 
CONFIG_E500_V1_V2_DBG.
Please guide me in having correct #define.

Regards,
Prabhakar
