5.4.6: TRACE_FLAGS, debugging output

The TRACE_FLAGS makefile variable controls the amount of debugging output the driver will be able to produce. By default, full debugging capabilities are enabled. Possible values are

-DCONFIG_FT_NO_TRACE
Disable all output except for warnings, errors and bug reports.
-DCONFIG_FT_NO_TRACE_AT_ALL
Disable everything except bug reports.

Disabling debugging output dramatically reduces the size of the kernel module but makes debugging almost impossible. Generally, it is a good idea to test the driver with debugging enabled and recompile it with debugging disabled once you are sure that it works properly with your configuration.
