Series [1/6] layerscape/armv8_64b: enable DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED | expand

Commit Message

Stijn Tintel Feb. 27, 2022, 11:57 a.m. UTC 
Add DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED as a kernel config option and remove it from the
kernel configs. This is in preparation of the upcoming option to enable
BTF typeinfo, which is incompatible with DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED.
