I agree that lot of the debug messages in that driver are garbage;
Proposal for v3:
- throw away all garbage messages (like "==========>__func__\n"),
- use proper print functions (and loglevels) for remaining RTLLIB_ debug 
messages (possibly reword them)
- throw away RTLLIB_DEBUG and RTLLIB_DEBUG_DATA macros (i.e. whole RTL 
'logging' mechanism)

Most of the messages will stay on DEBUG loglevel, so will not bother "normal" 
users.

Does it sound good?

Regards,
Mateusz
