This seems to be a very bad idea on my eyes. It is just creating an
alias to an already existing Kconfig symbol with no good reason.

To be fair, there are also two other drivers doing this:

	drivers/media/platform/omap3isp/Makefile:ccflags-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_OMAP3_DEBUG) += -DDEBUG
	drivers/media/platform/ti-vpe/Makefile:ccflags-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_TI_VPE_DEBUG) += -DDEBUG

It sounds better do to a s/CONFIG_DEBUG/CONFIG_VIDEO_whatever_DEBUG/ 
inside each of those driver, or to just remove this, and document that
one should enable CONFIG_DEBUG if they want to debug v4l2 drivers.
