Sure, but I think that having such an additional debug facility
can only help and save the people from adding temporary printk()s
while debugging.

Also we're talking about two lines of code, I wouldn't call that bloat ;-)
I was thinking about dev_dbg vs. removal too, but hadn't a clear
favorite.

So essentially Dragan is tipping the scale and I guess dev_dbg might be
the nicer way to go.

Yes, the code for printing the message is already there and it's only
a couple of lines, so it might be a good idea to recycle it. :)
