This doesn't work quite correctly. The problem is in dss.h, where we
define DEBUG if CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_DEBUG_SUPPORT is set. The thing is,
DEBUG should be defined before including the kernel headers where the
pr_debug etc are defined.

So if you try the patches without dynamic debugging enabled, you won't
get any debug outputs at all, even if CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_DEBUG_SUPPORT is
set.

And for dynamic debug, the Kconfig help says:

If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any       
pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be   
disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is      
turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.                   

So if we have CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_DEBUG_SUPPORT set, all the pr_debugs
should be enabled by default, which is not the case, again because DEBUG
is defined too late.

I think setting DEBUG in dss.h should be removed, and instead DEBUG
should be set in the makefile if CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_DEBUG_SUPPORT is set.
