st: add a debug_flag module parameter request
This patch adds a debug_flag parameter that can be set on module load, and allows the DEBUG facility without a module recompile. Note that now DEBUG 1 is the default with this patch. Usage: modprobe st debug_flag=1 Signed-off-by: Laurence Oberman <loberman@redhat.com> Acked-by: Kai M??kisara <kai.makisara@kolumbus.fi> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
