drm/amdkfd: bad CONFIG_ prefix for enum entries

Hi Yair,

your commit fbeb661bfa89 ("drm/amdkfd: Add skeleton H/W debugger
module support") has shown up in today's linux-next tree (i.e.,
next-20150604).  The commit adds the following lines of code to
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_dbgdev.h:

+/* CONFIG reg space definition */
+enum {
+       CONFIG_REG_BASE = 0x2000,       /* in dwords */
+       CONFIG_REG_END = 0x2B00,
+       CONFIG_REG_SIZE = CONFIG_REG_END - CONFIG_REG_BASE
+};

There is a problem with the 'CONFIG_' prefix of those entries.  This
prefix is reserved for Kconfig options in Make/Kbuild and CPP syntax,
so that static analysis tools (and readers of the code) may mistakenly
assume that the symbol is defined somewhere in a Kconfig file.

I detected the issue with ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py.  Would you
mind renaming those entries to something without the 'CONFIG_' prefix?
 I can also take care of it if you wish to.

Kind regards,
 Valentin
