Kconfig by default chooses the first entry of a choice setting. For the "debug information" choice this is DEBUG_INFO_NONE which disables debug information completely. The kconfig choice itself recommends to use "Toolchain default": Choose which version of DWARF debug info to emit. If unsure, select "Toolchain default". Align the actual configuration with the recommendation by providing an explicit default. This also enables more codepaths from allmodconfig/allyesconfig which depend on debug information being available.
