Hi Salah,

The goto statement also calls the debug function. I  know it doesn't look pretty
to have "debug; return; label; debug; return;", but I find these debug calls at
the start and end of functions very useful when reading dmesg to see that all
functions entered and exited correctly.

I prefer not removing that befs_debug(... ERROR ...);
Unless anybody else agree this is a good patch.

Thanks,
Luis
