If DEBUG and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG* are not enabled, it's a no-op
(protected by if (0) { ... }).
If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled, the operation is a no-op if not
enabled dynamically (if (dynamic_checl) { ... }).
If DEBUG (CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO) is enabled, the output is wanted.
(yes, I've just checked the preprocessor and assembler output ;-).

It calls .to_irq() of the parent GPIO controller, which is usually
just doing some offset addition. But that's driver-dependent.

No worries, desc_to_gpio() and gpiod_to_irq() are only evaluated when
the debug output is wanted.
