Just CONFIG_AXI_DEBUG of course.

Sure. You're not looking at the right place.
Look instead at include/linux/printk.h
/* If you are writing a driver, please use dev_dbg instead */
#if defined(DEBUG)
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) \
printk(KERN_DEBUG pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#elif defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
/* dynamic_pr_debug() uses pr_fmt() internally so we don't need it here */
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) \
dynamic_pr_debug(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) \
no_printk(KERN_DEBUG pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#endif
