*Enable spinlock validation*

Type: ``bool``

    There's a spinlock validation framework available when asserts are
    enabled. It adds a relatively hefty overhead (about 3k or so) to
    kernel code size, don't use on platforms known to be small.

Direct dependencies
===================

\ :option:`ASSERT <CONFIG_ASSERT>` && \ :option:`MULTITHREADING <CONFIG_MULTITHREADING>` && \ :option:`MP_NUM_CPUS <CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS>` <= 4

*(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)*

Default
=======

- y if !\ :option:`FLASH <CONFIG_FLASH>` || \ :option:`FLASH_SIZE <CONFIG_FLASH_SIZE>` > 32
