Kconfig.debug is something that we usually merge new platforms for
through arm-soc. The main exception has been release cycles when
Russell has been doing major surgery on the file (one of those was a
few releases ago), where we've backed off to avoid conflicts.

That's been the assumed arrangement from our side at least, we haven't
had anything more formal than that.

So, go ahead and send it through us -- if we end up having a cycle
where we can't apply it we can send it over to Russell for you.
