Using debugfs.  More convenient than module options
in some cases.

There are already sysfs files for module parameters which seems to work
just fine for this case:

# echo 0xffffffff > /sys/module/ath10k_core/parameters/debug_mask


Ok, but it is still nice to have the printout info of what log levels
means.  Otherwise, you have to go look at firmware source to even know how
to enable the proper flags.  And as these flags are internal and might change,
we could change the printout text to match the specific kernel that is running.

In my opinion, this is a 'nice-to-have', not required, if sysfs works,
so I will also test the sysfs suggestion above.

Thanks,
Ben
