I left __set_css_print_env() and dbg_func module parameter intentionally
because there is still the option "non", which means do not use any
function to log. Yes, I don't know if it's really useful since the module
parameter dbg_level=0 (this is the default value) means no debug output.

However, they (those who originally wrote atomisp) added the option "non"
anyway. So, I thought there is a use case for this.

If everyone thinks it's useless, I can additionally remove them. In this
case, indeed a lot of code may be additionally removed (I haven't checked
yet).

This driver is not 100% yet, but at least it can capture images now
(at least on ISP2401). So, I thought this is the right time to remove
it when I wrote this patch.

But yes, we don't necessarily have to drop it. The other idea is hide
it by default using a macro, and still can be enabled by manual edit.
Here is the example from drivers/usb/dwc2/core.h:

        49-/*
        50- * Suggested defines for tracers:
        51- * - no_printk:    Disable tracing
        52- * - pr_info:      Print this info to the console
        53- * - trace_printk: Print this info to trace buffer (good for verbose logging)
        54- */
        55-
        56:#define DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER		no_printk
        57:#define DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER_VB		no_printk
        58-
        59-/* Detailed scheduler tracing, but won't overwhelm console */
        60-#define dwc2_sch_dbg(hsotg, fmt, ...)					\
        61:	DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER(pr_fmt("%s: SCH: " fmt),			\
        62-			     dev_name(hsotg->dev), ##__VA_ARGS__)
        63-
        64-/* Verbose scheduler tracing */
        65-#define dwc2_sch_vdbg(hsotg, fmt, ...)					\
        66:	DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER_VB(pr_fmt("%s: SCH: " fmt),		\
        67-				dev_name(hsotg->dev), ##__VA_ARGS__)

with using pr_info by default for atomisp (the parameter dbg_level is
0 by default, so still no output by default). If this sounds OK, I'd
like to try this way.
