Subject: [RFC] removing explicit #define DEBUG

In cleaning up the printf %hh's I have found a number of files

that explicitly do a

#define DEBUG

with no comments or surrounding #ifdef CONFIG_MY_DEBUG_FEATURE/#endif

If I saw this in a review, I would assume this was leftover devel code and nak the review.

Finding and removing are pretty trival, i believe there are only around 10.

I am bringing this up because if the existing code depends on the DEBUG,

ex/ getting lucking with timing, then the change would introduce problems.
