However, this is seen as dead code. As this one, my preferance is to set
only a comment (I see several files in u-boot with such a comment, for
example arch/arm/lib/board.c).

It is ok, but it generates another new CONFIG_ switch, that is unusable
for the rest of u-boot. I agree that in u-boot there is a lot of
different and local functions to setup, and probably a general mechanism
should be better defined. However, setting "#define DEBUG" before any
include files is quite usual. I do not like to set a CONFIG_ switch only
for debug purpose, as in the delivered system all debug output should be
turned off.

Best regards,
Stefano
