CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG breaks debug prints for (at least modular) drm drivers. The debug prints can be reinstated by manually frobbing /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug after the fact, but at that point the damage is done and all debugs from driver probe are lost. This makes drivers totally undebuggable.
There's a more complete fix in progress [1], with further details, but we need this fixed in stable kernels. Mark the feature as broken and disable it by default, with hopes distros follow suit and disable it as well.

Thanks Greg, any more acks from anyone?
Maxime, since there's going to be an -rc8, I suggest taking this via drm-misc-fixes. Is that okay with you? (You're doing drm-misc-fixes this round, right?)
BR, Jani.
