What is wrong with the existing methods to control debugging? You can enable 
and disable debugging for each device with ioctl() (as described in the driver 
documentation). You can use mt-st to do this from command line.

Your patch just allows one to change the default for all devices. The real 
problem may be that the distributions don’t compile the debugging code into the 
drivets but your patch does not change this.
