OK, I may change the description more accurate. I was thinking about
only embedded
environment for this patch. But it really should be accurate for all
kinds users to learn
about it.

I don't think the debug log print is too much in my kernel. I didn't add extra
debug print other than its original code.
In fact it is very close to one of GKI kernels which could be found at
AOSP kernel/common branch: android-5.4.

In Google's plan, there will be only one GKI (no debug version) for
one Android version per kernel version per year.
So if I request to enable it and they accept my request (actually they
did), the config will be opened in that
GKI release for this year.

I am sorry to make you feel confused.
One of the main purpose of this change is to export the core
functions of dynamic debug to kernel modules.
These functions are defined in lib/dynamic_debug.c.
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__dynamic_pr_debug);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__dynamic_dev_dbg);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__dynamic_netdev_dbg);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__dynamic_ibdev_dbg);
These are only being built when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set. But all
pr_debug in GKI will be built-in as well.
It will increase not very much size as you pointed out but might worth
to be considerred for some cases.
To eliminate this "side-effect", my change will give an option to
people like Google guys to export these symbols
without the burden of size it adds before.
