SubjectRe: [PATCH] kbuild: add option to set max level of debug info

Thanks for pointing this out.

Here is a little note from my side. According to the GCC documentation
the default level is 2. So I would propose to set the default Kconfig
option value to 2 as well to not change the build behavior.

Does this sound reasonable?
