In short: already defined, so if it hadn't broken the build, setting
"option ATOM_DEBUG" wouldn't have done anything anyway.

These xxx_DEBUG are typically done by editing the relevant source file
and using #define there. Sometimes those might end up committed, that
is the case here:

/sys/dev/pci/drm/amd/amdgpu/atom.c
34:#define ATOM_DEBUG 

/sys/dev/pci/drm/radeon/atom.c
35:#define ATOM_DEBUG 

this could happen e.g. if it's suspected there might be issues with
a driver etc and we want to get more information from any dmesg that
are sent in.
