If such debugging is added to regmap we still need a way to enable them
per driver (or rather regmap) to not clutter the logs.
These three dev_dbg statements are extremely useful during debugging /
development especially in combination with the other dynamic printks in
these drivers.
I'd actually prefer just keeping them for now.

Which attributes do you have in mind?
The boost_freq and boost_ovp affect both backlight devices (i.e. cannot
be set separately) and as such belong in the parent driver IMO.
Same with the output_hvled{1..2}, output_lvled{1..5} attributes. The
chip has four logical LEDs ("control banks") but five low-voltage output
sinks. The five output_lvled attributes determine the mapping and as
such belong in the parent driver. The two logical backlight devices can
likewise be used to control either or both high-voltage outputs and
belong in the parent driver for the same reasons.
Thanks,
Johan
