[PATCH] ARM: Add config option DEBUG_DECOMPRESS_KERNEL

[Maximilian Schwerin]

This change allows preventing the message "Uncompressing Linux..." from
being sent to serial port. This is necessary if the primary serial port is
used for something other than kernel debugging (e.g. some external device
controlled by serial commands).
