Thanks for spotting that.

That one is wrong. Was introduced by commit d210ee3fdfe8 
("powerpc/configs: Update config files for removed/renamed symbols") 
which aimed at fixing commit e084728393a5 ("powerpc/ptdump: Convert 
powerpc to GENERIC_PTDUMP") but it did it wrong.

It is CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS that is wanted.
