It is good to know.

Actually I think printe_hex_dump(KERN_INFO) is here more
appropriate.  With *_debug() functions and dynamic debug enabled users
need to flip two switches to see messages. I think that if msglvl
(pktdata in this case) is not turned on by default and users need to use
ethtool to switch it, they shouldn't be required to fiddle with dynamic
debug too.
