This patch is wrong. The idea of PUTC_LL is that the implementations are
all included exclusively. See arch/arm/include/asm/debug_ll.h which
includes exactly one SoC header file. You shouldn't include
mach/mvebu/debug_ll.h directly, but instead only indirectly via
include/debug_ll.h.

Did you see any specific link failures/duplicate definitions that
motivated you to this patch?
