Ideally, drivers should not have their own debugging macros like this, but
instead use the kernel's own pr_debug() and (preferrably) dev_dbg() macros,
which are disabled by default.
For many of these debugging outputs, it's even better to kill them entirely
instead of converting to dev_dbg().
Do not put the line in comments though.
