+            If enabled, GDMA driver component will:
+            1. ignore the global logging settings
+            2. compile all log messages into the binary
+            3. set the runtime log level to VERBOSE
+            Please enable this option by caution, as it will increase the binary size.

+        default n
+        select GDMA_ISR_HANDLER_IN_IRAM
         help
             This will ensure the GDMA interrupt handler is IRAM-Safe, allow to avoid flash
             cache misses, and also be able to run whilst the cache is disabled.
             (e.g. SPI Flash write).

-    config GDMA_ENABLE_DEBUG_LOG
-        bool "Enable debug log"
-        default n
-        help
-            Whether to enable the debug log message for GDMA driver.
-            Note that, this option only controls the GDMA driver log, won't affect other drivers.
+            If this option is enabled, ALL GDMA channel's ISR handlers should be placed in IRAM, which is a overkill.
+            It's recommend to set the "isr_cache_safe" in the "gdma_channel_alloc_config_t".
+            Then other GDMA channels won't be influenced.
