Uhm..., I have tried to test your patch with devel branch/renesas repo.
1. CONFIG_DEBUG_SCIF is enabled in shmobile_defconfig.
2. *Need to configure* CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_PHYS for lager/koelsch
since 0xe6c50000 (for ARCH_R8A7740) will be selected by default.

Diff of config changed:
-# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is not set
-CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE="mach/debug-macro.S"
+CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y
+CONFIG_DEBUG_SCIF=y
+# CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC is not set
+# CONFIG_DEBUG_SEMIHOSTING is not set
+# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_8250 is not set
+# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_PL01X is not set
+CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE="debug/scif.S"
 # CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_PL01X is not set
 # CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250 is not set
+CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_PHYS=0xe6e60000
+CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS=y
 CONFIG_UNCOMPRESS_INCLUDE="debug/uncompress.h"
+# CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is not set
 # CONFIG_PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR is not set

3. Boot up in lager/koelsch, kernel log output
to "booting the kernel" then ... nothing else.

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.


Could you let me know your test procedure ?
