To enable dynamic debugging in driver core you could use something like

CONFIG_CMDLINE="dyndbg=\"func really_probe =p\""

That gives you two printouts per successful probe, for example:

bus: 'usb-serial': really_probe: probing driver edgeport_ti_1 with device ttyUSB0
bus: 'usb-serial': really_probe: bound device ttyUSB0 to driver edgeport_ti_1

Or you can of course just change the corresponding pr_debug to pr_info
while debugging.
