I don't think this is quite right, because I'm now seeing randconfig
finding build errors with this.  We can end up with this configuration:

CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_NONE=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SEMIHOSTING is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_8250 is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_PL01X is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE="mach/debug-macro.S"
# CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250 is not set

which results in:

arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:24:33: fatal error: mach/debug-macro.S: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/debug.o] Error 1
arch/arm/kernel/head.S:27:33: fatal error: mach/debug-macro.S: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/head.o] Error 1
