Hi Oliver.

We disagree.  Look for other uses of commented out DEBUG.

For instance, in drivers it's:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] --exclude=drivers/staging "/\*\s*\#\s*define\s+DEBUG\b" drivers | wc -l
32

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] --exclude=drivers/staging "//\s*\#\s*define\s+DEBUG\b" drivers | wc -l
17

Treewide, there are 20 uses of //#define DEBUG

Read the patches, they are converted to appropriate form.

I think they're correct and don't feel a need to regenerate them
nor do I think micropatches for trivial stuff like this is necessary.

You want to be the maintainer for this stuff, it's your choice to
apply them, modify them to suit your taste or ignore them.

cheers, Joe
