Ick ick ick.

No, these lines should just all be deleted.  Use ftrace if you want to
see what functions are being called, that's what it is there for.  Don't
create driver-specific defines and functionality for when we already
have that functionality for the whole of the kernel.  That's really
redundant and messy.

So this whole #ifdef dev_dbg #endif should all be removed.
