Subject: [PATCH] Kernel debugging: omap: print warning if CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is enabled

commit d2b310b0234c ("ARM: debug: Use generic 8250 debug_ll for omap2 and omap3/4/5 common uarts")
commit fc23beb8a577 ("ARM: debug: Use generic 8250 debug_ll for omap3/4/5")

switched to generic 8250 debug_ll code which seems to be incompatible
with at least OMAP5 boards (OMAP5EVM, Pyra) if CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is
still enabled in some legacy defconfig. Since this is very hard to
relate to these patches and difficult to identify, let's have the
compiler emit a warning.
