What does this offer in benefit of the existing way?  What is it fixing?
Why do this "churn"?
currently we have added ccflags-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER) := -DDEBUG in the Makefile
of driver/base and driver/base/power, but not in the subdirectory
driver/base/firmware_loader. we cannot turn the debug on for subdirectory
firmware_loader if we config DEBUG_DRIVER and there is no kconfig option
for the it.
Is that necessary?  Does that directory need it?
there are several debug prints in firmware_loader/main.c:

./main.c:207:   pr_debug("%s: fw-%s fw_priv=%p\n", __func__, fw_name, fw_priv);
./main.c:245:                   pr_debug("batched request - sharing the same struct fw_priv and lookup for multiple requests\n");
<snip>
Even if these are not in scope for CONFIG_DEBUG_DRVIER there is a
config option that would allow you to observe them without changing
any code (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG).
