CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG breaks debug prints for (at least modular) drm drivers. The debug prints can be reinstated by manually frobbing /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug after the fact, but at that point the damage is done and all debugs from driver probe are lost. This makes drivers totally undebuggable. There's a more complete fix in progress [1], with further details, but we need this fixed in stable kernels. Mark the feature as broken and disable it by default, with hopes distros follow suit and disable it as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
