[PATCH 1/2] ARM: Add inituart macro to initialize DEBUG_LL serial port based on the machine ID

Allow machine specific init of the DEBUG_LL serial port. This is needed
to debug kernels built with support for multiple machines compiled in
without recompiling the kernel.
As some SoCs need to use variables to store the port address and LSR
register configuration, we must call inituart again after clearing
the BSS.
If variables are being used for for inituart and addruart, this setup
won't work properly for debugging the uncompress code without patching
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S for the machine in question.
For adding DEBUG_LL support for new machines, only two lines are needed
in debug-macro.S:
.macro inituart, id, a, v
...
ldr \v, =MACH_TYPE_SOMETHING1
cmp \id, \v
ldrne \v, =MACH_TYPE_SOMETHING2
cmpne \id, \v
ldrne \v, =MACH_TYPE_SOMETHING3
cmpne \id, \v
...
.endm
Note that this patch depends on a patch to add empty inituart macro for
each debug-macro.S file.
