ARM: document DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS Kconfig option
This non-user visible option lacked any kind of documentation. This is quite common for non-user visible options; certian people can't understand the point of documenting such options with help text. However, here we have a case in point: developers don't understand the option either, as they were thinking that when the option is not set, the decompressor should produce no output what so ever. This is incorrect, as the purpose of this option is to control whether a multiplatform kernel uses the kernel debugging macros to produce output or not. So let's document this via help rather than commentry to prevent others falling into this misunderstanding. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

811 This option influences the normal decompressor output for
812 multiplatform kernels. Normally, multiplatform kernels disable
813 decompressor output because it is not possible to know where to
814 send the decompressor output.

816 When this option is set, the selected DEBUG_LL output method
817 will be re-used for normal decompressor output on multiplatform
818 kernels.
