<confused> Are you all talking about these 2 lines:

	default "debug/palmchip.S" if DEBUG_UART_8250_PALMCHIP
	default "debug/8250.S" if DEBUG_LL_UART_8250 || DEBUG_UART_8250

default "debug/palmchip.S" is supposed to come before default "debug/8250.S" ?

Because, in my config, there is no DEBUG_LL_UART_8250 to be seen, and
# CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250 is not set

So I don't see how the order might cause a problem in that case?

Regards.
