I think the Kconfig option is pretty poor too but a
long needed extension to dev_dbg is to enable classes
of messages by level or mask.

There are many existing macros like

#define module_dbg(level, fmt, ...)
do {
	if (level >= some_module_var)
		debug_something(...);
} while (0)

and

#define module_dbg(mask, fmt, ...)
do {
	if (mask & some_module_var)
		debug_something(...)
} while (0)

It'd be nice to consolidate those in dev_dbg

I'll get 'round to it one day if Jason doesn't.
