Hi,

a. It seems backwards (or upside down) to have a test case select a feature (PRMEM)
instead of depending on that feature.

b. Since PRMEM depends on MMU (in patch 04/17), the "select" here could try to
enabled PRMEM even when MMU is not enabled.

Changing this to "depends on PRMEM" would solve both of these issues.

c. Don't use "default n".  That is already the default.


thanks,
