This was already solved in

perf tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.

When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to redirect the
debug
log into a file. Currently it's always forced to the message
line.

Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be easily
redirected.

You can do

perf report --debug stderr 2> file ...
