From: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e2f06aa885081e1391916367f53bad984714b4db upstream. Don't require the use of dynamic debug (or modification of the kernel to add a #define DEBUG to the top of this file) to get the printk message about driver probe timing. This printk is only emitted when initcall_debug is enabled on the kernel commandline, and it isn't immediately obvious that you have to do something else to debug boot timing issues related to driver probe. Add a comment too so it doesn't get converted back to pr_debug().
