drm_print.c calls pr_debug() just once, from __drm_printfn_debug(), which is a generic/service fn. The callsite is compile-time enabled by DEBUG in both DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y/n builds.
For dyndbg builds, reverting this callsite back to bare printk is correcting a few anti-features:
1- callsite is generic, serves multiple drm users. its hardwired on currently could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading they describe only the generic site, not end users
IOW, 1,2 are unhelpful at best, and possibly confusing.
reverting yields a nominal data and text shrink:

NB: this was noticed using _drm_debug_enabled(), added earlier.
