We don't need it as debug calls already have a log level and compiler
should be smart enough to optimise away the code when ath6kl debug code
is not enabled. Also it makes it easier to abstract core code to
ath6kl_core.ko.

In ath6kl_dump_registers() I had to change the debug level from ANY to IRQ
as I removed the AR_DBG_LVL_CHECK() check before calling the function.

Have you checked?
I think you are assuming that because the called
function collapses, the call will be removed allowing
the loop to be removed.
I suspect this is only true if the function is inlined.
IIRC the normal linkage rules mean that only static
functions are candidates for inlining.

No, I just assumed so.

I think you are right.

But while I investigated more I noticed that ath6kl_dump_registers()
will be an empty static inline whenever CONFIG_ATH6KL_DEBUG is disabled
and that will make sure that the whole function is not included. So
whenever ath6kl debug code is enabled there is a small performance hit,
but it's so small that IMHO we don't need to worry about it.

And for optimal performance CONFIG_ATH6KL_DEBUG should be disabled anyway.

What do you think?
