Usage of debug_ll

edwinrong

                Only two patch file attached in this article, which implements detailed __debug_ll()__　implementation for xxx platform.
Long long ago, I want to implement this function, now, I got it. Feel good.
More detailed descriptions, please refer to :
Usage of subroutine printascill in Assemble
Actually, this function only deals with the transmission operations to UART1.
As we know that, during the bootup of linux kernel, it will look up the machine type ID provided by uboot, if the ID found, the kernel might be brought up properly, else, the bootup terminated, and error message will be printed out by printasscii, namely, debug_ll. Now to trigger the error, modify the machine type ID in arch/arm/tools/mach-types.
The two patches needed are attached, one is to add __debug_ll_ in _printk_, the other is to modify the settings to UART?, which is used to transmit chars.
