There is no use case to make this a control, but yes, a corrupted stream can
flood, but isn't the point of pr_debug() that it won't show if you don't enabled
it ?

As for v4l2_dbg I'm not familiar with that and its not used in this driver for
traces. I've use pr_debug for reference list tracing previously and flooding was
not considered a problem despite being a per-frame trace. You can even out-
compile these if you need to.

Let me know if you have further rationale in the suggestion direction. The
rationale in my coding for such trace is that if I read 1 bit of a register, and
trace the surrounding value, I can validate (as a human) that the rest of the
register isn't complete garbage, and that I'm not basically reading a random
bit. Leaving the trace there, allow other developer on other variant of these
SoC to also notice if that register becomes garbage. This is in contrast of just
telling others "trust me, I tested it".
