Ack but we need to not just drop the wrappers but drop the usage of 
these macros as well because it is documented that they are deprecated.

So I assume you want to get this in and do that as a follow up change?

Alright, I am okay with the approach, just one minor suggestion, to keep 
the behavior intact, previously the code wanted DPU_DEBUG to be 
controlled by DRM_UT_KMS and DPU_DEBUG_DRIVER controlled by DRM_UT_DRIVER.

Keeping that intact, we need to use DRM_DEBUG_KMS for DPU_DEBUG?
