For all of your remarks, the intent here is to keep the
same output.

Logging level changes and printk(KERN_DEBUG -> pr_debug(
conversions cause the dmesg output to be different.

	printk(KERN_DEBUG...)

is always emitted when the console level allows but

	pr_debug(...)

is not normally compiled in at all.

So it's possible for all printk(KERN_DEBUG to be pr_debug
but that causes no logging at all to be emitted when
DEBUG is not defined or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG not enabled.
