omap_uart_phys, omap_uart_virt and omap_uart_lsr reside in .data section
and it's right implementation. But because of this, we cannot enable
CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS. LL_DEBUG and DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS are very useful tools
for debugging early boot stage when something goes wrong if you don't have
any hardware based debugging tools like a JTAG debugger.
This patch is to put the variables into .text section instead only when the
DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE file is included in the kernel decompressor, which is only
when ZIMAGE is defined.
This patch does not change anything when DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE is included in
the other kernel parts like arch/arm/kernel/*
