Modifies CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 to be a member of a choice. Adds an
explicit CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF2, which is the default. Does so in a
way that's forward compatible with existing configs, and makes adding
future versions more straightforward.

Here you use "DWARF version" so keep this for v2 and v4.

DWARF Version 2 is fine and preferable.

I have checked DWARF Version 2/3/4/5 specifications.
"DWARF Version 2" is the official way that version is referred to...

Aren't you regressing this with this patch? Why is the hunk from 3/3
that adds

ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG
ifneq ($(LLVM_IAS),1)

not in this patch?

Nice catch Nathan.

Just FYI:

The patch...

"kbuild: Remove $(cc-option,-gdwarf-4) dependency from DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4"

... has now entered kbuild-next.
( This patch is included in this patch-series. )

So should we point to this one and add a comment?
Thinking of a next version of this DWARF5 support patch-series.
