EARLY_PRINTK depends on DEBUG_LL, so that makes no sense.

I don't understand. You should still be able to turn on DEBUG_LL when you need
it. It will just work only on the machines it is configured for, as it always
does. You will need a separate Kconfig option for each physical address though,
but that is also nothing new.
