In addition to the dev_debug device attribute, which controls
per-device debugging, we now add a module parameter to control
debugging globally.
This will allow to add debugging of v4l2 control logic,
using the newly introduced debug parameter.
In addition, this module parameter adds consistency to the
subsystem, since other v4l2 modules expose the same parameter.
