Subject: [PATCH 5.15 525/530] Kconfig.debug: add toolchain checks for DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@...nel.org>

commit bb1435f3f575b5213eaf27434efa3971f51c01de upstream.

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT does not give explicit
-gdwarf-* flag. The actual DWARF version is up to the toolchain.

The combination of GCC and GAS works fine, and Clang with the integrated
assembler is good too.

The combination of Clang and GAS is tricky, but at least, the -g flag
works for Clang <=13, which defaults to DWARF v4.

Clang 14 switched its default to DWARF v5.

Now, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT has the same issue as
addressed by commit 98cd6f521f10 ("Kconfig: allow explicit opt in to
DWARF v5").

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y for Clang >= 14 and
GAS < 2.35 produces a ton of errors like follows:

  /tmp/main-c2741c.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/main-c2741c.s:109: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `"'
  /tmp/main-c2741c.s:109: Error: file number less than one

Add 'depends on' to check toolchains.
