Ah, I figured that part was necessary because of the condition added to
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 by commit 32ef9e5054ec ("Makefile.debug:
re-enable debug info for .S files") but I see now that was because of
some binutils behavior that you pointed out on Nick's v2 of that change,
which I failed to pay attention to because I had already reviewed the
change and did not read subsequent reviews/revisions as I should have,
so my apologies.

https://lore.kernel.org/CAK7LNATWDH01=ZKLnsxc0vcib1zGDbEq8jLQwhWP7HkkmSb_Mw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Regardless, I still think the duplication in these conditions is
unfortunate and I would like to see it cleaned up in some way but I
don't have a strong opinion on the matter. To the original change:

Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Once these are applied to linux-kbuild, I will send a v2 of my RISC-V
fix.
