The debugging code in the following ifdef land
- QL_ALL_DUMP
- QL_REG_DUMP
- QL_DEV_DUMP
- QL_CB_DUMP
- QL_IB_DUMP
- QL_OB_DUMP
becomes unnecessary because,
- Device status and general registers can be obtained by ethtool.
- Coredump can be done via devlink health reporter.
- Structure related to the hardware (struct ql_adapter) can be obtained
by crash or drgn.

Please also update drivers/staging/qlge/TODO accordingly. There is still
a lot of debugging code IMO (the netif_printk statements - kernel
tracing can be used instead of those) but this patch is a substantial
improvement.
Thank you for the reminding! To move qlge out of staging tree would be
interesting exercise for me:)
