When CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set, we get a link error:
arch/arm/mm/built-in.o:(.data+0x4bc): undefined reference to `__start_rodata_section_aligned'
However, this combination is useless, as XIP_KERNEL implies that all the
RODATA is already marked readonly, so both CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and
CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA (which depends on the other) are not
needed with XIP_KERNEL, and this patches enforces that using a Kconfig
dependency.

If we do this, we need to probably clean up the xip linker script to remove all the references to DEBUG_*RODATA too. -Kees

If this is set, kernel text and rodata memory will be made
