Enable low-level debugging support for RZ/G1M (r8a7743). RZ/G1M uses
SCIF0 for the debug console, like most of the R-Car Gen2 SoCs.

Thanks for your patch!

While the recommended debug method these days is "earlycon", DEBUG_LL is
indeed still useful to debug issues before earlycon is initialized.
Let's hope you will never encounter such issues on arm64, which doesn't
have DEBUG_LL per policy decision...

This line is becoming a bit long, and it'll only become worse in the future.
What about "Kernel low-level debugging messages via SCIF0 on R-Car Gen2"?
The full list of SoCs is still available in the extended help text.

Thank you for the information. It's hard to keep up with these decisions!

What about "Kernel low-level debugging messages via SCIF0 on R-Car Gen2 and RZ/G1"?

I'd like to try and keep some sort of split between the two product lines if possible.

Kind regards, Chris

Oops, of course. That's what I intended to type ;-)
