You mean drop the trace? Will exposing FW/PHY versions via debugfs be OK?

Will fix

If removal of the CC33xx driver was caused by the removal of its parent 
SDIO device then all I/O operations will fail as SDIO transport is no 
longer available. This will eventually trigger the recovery mechanism 
which in this case is futile. If this flag is set, no recovery is attempted.

cc33xx_debug_level together with cc33xx_debug/info/error() macros is how 
all traces were done in drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/ (originally was 
wl1271_debug/info etc.) It enables / disables traces without rebuilding 
or even reloading which is very helpful for remote support. These macros 
map to dynamic_pr_debug / pr_debug. I saw similar wrappers in other 
wireless drivers (ath12k). This is also why there are plenty of 
cc33xx_debug() all over the code, most are silent by default.

I saw other drivers use this, is it no longer allowed?
