CONFIG_MLX4_EN_DEBUG isn't in Kconfig.  If you expect debugging to be
enabled through tweaking EXTRA_CFLAGS then the macro should be called
something else.

Neither is CONFIG_MLX4_EN_PREFETCH in Kconfig.  Why don't you do this
unconditionally?

There are several more CONFIG macros tested here which should be removed
or renamed (or possibly added to Kconfig).
