Here we introduce few debug macros with levels (low, medium and
high) and debug macro for firmware. Enabling the particular level
will be done by dynamic debug with levels.

For example to enable debug messages with low level:
echo 'module venus_dec level 0x01 +p' > debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

If you want to enable all levels:
echo 'module venus_dec level 0x07 +p' > debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

All the features which dynamic debugging provide are preserved.

And finaly all dev_dbg are translated to VDBGX with appropriate
debug levels.

So you just lost the information that dev_dbg() gave you with regards to
the device/driver/instance creating that message?

No, I don't lose anything.  When I do debug I know that all debug
messages comes from my driver.  dev_dbg will give me few device
identifiers which I don't care so much. IMO, the device information
makes more sense to dev_err/warn/err variants.  On the other side we
will have dev_dbg_level(group) if still someone needs the device
information.

Ick, no, don't do that.

And why is this driver somehow "special" compared to all the rest of

Of course it is special ... to me ;-)

the kernel?  Why is the current dev_dbg() control not sufficient that
you need to change the core for just this tiny thing?
