But both pr_debug() and dev_dbg() do a static "#ifdef DEBUG", not a
runtime check of the 'debug' module paraeter.
Anyway, it turns out I don't really have any interesting debug outputs
anymore, so I'm eliminating DPRINTK() and the 'debug' module
parameter.
I'm still rolling my own printk formatting macro because thinkpad_ec
doesn't have a device for dev_dbg().
