This should not be needed, otherwise we would have to do that for all
random driver subsystem in the kernel.

This feels wrong, you shouldn't need a -DDEBUG for anything if all is
going correctly.  Why is opp so odd this way?  Just use the normal
dev_dbg() macros and all will be fine, nothing special should be needed
at all.

And don't use a config option for it either, no one will turn it on, it
needs to "just work" for all systems.
