There are behavior differences between printk(KERN_DEBUG ...); and pr_debug(...); The first will always be emitted as long as the console level is appropriate. The second depends on a #define DEBUG before it gets emitted or a kernel with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled and this entry specifically enabled in the control file.
