trivia:

I think the output isn't quite what you might expect.
It could be interleaved by pr_cont from a different
thread. 

I think this might be a bit more readable as below and
this doesn't use implicit newlines by successive pr_<level>.

static void dump_port_status_diff(u32 old_status, u32 new_status)
{
	int i = 0;
	u32 bit = 1;

	char change;
	pr_debug("status old->new %08x -> %08x\n", old_status, new_status);
	while (bit) {
		u32 old = old_status & bit;
		u32 new = new_status & bit;
		char change;

		if (!old && new)
			change = '+';
		else if (old && !new)
			change = '-';
		else
			change = ' ';
		if (old || new)
			pr_debug(" %c%s\n", change, bit_desc[i]);
		bit <<= 1;
		i++;
  	}
}

I don't know if this is in any sort of fast-path or if
gcc will completely optimize this completely away if
pr_debug isn't declared, but maybe surround the function
implementation with

static void dump_port_status_diff(u32 prev_status, u32 new_status)
{
#ifdef DEBUG
	...
#endif
}
