Great, anyone know why this change was done on ds.c ? The pc_debug on
prism54 comes from the original Intersil driver. It is used to for
debugging but we should move away from our current debugging mechanism
to netif_msg.

Margit, do you have some pending commits left? Do you want to take a
stab at this? If not I can later on this week.
