Similar situation can be observed in AMDGPU tests, for example in llvm\test\Object\AMDGPU\elf-header-flags-xnack.yaml flag EF_AMDGPU_MACH_NONE. But I added this flag for input flags in Xtensa test to avoid confusion.

> From what I piece together from the comments and flag names, EF_XTENSA_MACH_NONE is effectively saying "there are no other EF_XTENSA_MACH_* bits sets". Given that, I would expect to NOT see this flag in obj2yaml or llvm-readobj output, if any of the bits covered by the EF_XTENSA_MACH mask are set. This of course might require some extra logic.

The EF_XTENSA_MACH_NONE is printed only by obj2yaml and it is printed only in case when ((ELF_FLAGS & EF_XTENSA_MACH) == 0 ). I checked this situation using dummy architecture flag  like (EF_XTENSA_ARCH_1 = 0x1) and verified that obj2yaml prints only EF_XTENSA_ARCH_1 without EF_XTENSA_MACH_NONE.

I'm not sure that we must add Xtensa ELF flags to llvm-readobj, because it seems that in ELFDumper.cpp only RISCV / AMDGPU / Mips ELF flags are processed.
