The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup() (which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is probably the behavior we want.
