dev_dbg has 3 cases how it prints its content:
1/ With dynamic debug when it's enabled.
2/ With -DDEBUG if it's defined for the certain file(s) in the Makefile.
3/ No print.

pm_pr_dbg relies on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_DEBUG, pm_debug_messages_on and
not on -DDEBUG. I haven't checked all relations between those 3, but
it seems to me that DEBUG is not equivalent to the others.
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_DEBUG=n prevents printing with the dynamic debug on.

OTOH I dunno how this is relevant to the functionality of the driver
in question. Maybe it's okay to have such changes.
