I'll remove this and other similar dev_dbg() calls. This was an oversight on my
part.
I have other instances that a kprobe can't easily replace, such as printing
structure contents, that are useful for tracing the usage of the driver. It
looks like other misc drivers use dev_dbg() similarly -- do you consider this
an acceptable use of a debug print?
Thanks,
