OK. It's not a bug it's a feature :) If you don't have anything connected to the serial port, then DEBUG_LL should not do anything as it just waits for fifo to empty. Sounds like we should either have most of uncompress.h in ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LL so it does not do anything unless set. We may also want to also define DEBUG_LL_OMAP_NONE in uncompress.h to allow booting systems with no serial port with DEBUG_LL set, but I don't know if that's really needed. Does your system boot without any patches if DEBUG_LL is not set in your .config?
