[Why] Warnings in the kernel are generally treated as errors. The BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER macro is not a critical error or warning, but rather intended for developer use to help investigate behavior and sequences for other issues. We do still make use of DC_ERROR/ASSERT(0) in various places in the code for things that are genuine issues. Since most developers don't actually KGDB while debugging the kernel these essentially would have no value on their own since the KGDB breakpoint wouldn't trigger - ASSERT(0) was used as a shortcut to get a stacktrace. [How] Turn it into a DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER print instead. We unfortunately lose the stacktrace, but we still do retain some of the useful debug information this offers by having at least the function and line number loggable. If KGDB is supported in the kernel this will still trigger a real breakpoint as well.
