drm_print.c calls pr_debug() just once, from __drm_printfn_debug(),
which is a generic/service fn. The callsite is compile-time enabled
by DEBUG in both DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y/n builds.
For dyndbg builds, reverting this callsite back to bare printk is
correcting a few anti-features:
1- callsite is generic, serves multiple drm users.
its hardwired on currently
could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading
they describe only the generic site, not end users
IOW, 1,2 are unhelpful at best, and possibly confusing.
reverting yields a nominal data and text shrink:
