I left __set_css_print_env() and dbg_func module parameter intentionally
because there is still the option "non", which means do not use any
function to log. Yes, I don't know if it's really useful since the module
parameter dbg_level=0 (this is the default value) means no debug output.
However, they (those who originally wrote atomisp) added the option "non"
anyway. So, I thought there is a use case for this.
If everyone thinks it's useless, I can additionally remove them. In this
case, indeed a lot of code may be additionally removed (I haven't checked
yet).

This driver is not 100% yet, but at least it can capture images now
(at least on ISP2401). So, I thought this is the right time to remove
it when I wrote this patch.
But yes, we don't necessarily have to drop it. The other idea is hide
it by default using a macro, and still can be enabled by manual edit.
Here is the example from drivers/usb/dwc2/core.h:
49-/*
50- * Suggested defines for tracers:
51- * - no_printk: Disable tracing
52- * - pr_info: Print this info to the console
53- * - trace_printk: Print this info to trace buffer (good for verbose logging)
54- */
55-
56:#define DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER no_printk
57:#define DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER_VB no_printk
58-
59-/* Detailed scheduler tracing, but won't overwhelm console */
60-#define dwc2_sch_dbg(hsotg, fmt, ...) \
61: DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER(pr_fmt("%s: SCH: " fmt), \
62- dev_name(hsotg->dev), ##__VA_ARGS__)
63-
64-/* Verbose scheduler tracing */
65-#define dwc2_sch_vdbg(hsotg, fmt, ...) \
66: DWC2_TRACE_SCHEDULER_VB(pr_fmt("%s: SCH: " fmt), \
67- dev_name(hsotg->dev), ##__VA_ARGS__)
with using pr_info by default for atomisp (the parameter dbg_level is
0 by default, so still no output by default). If this sounds OK, I'd
like to try this way.
