correct - the only way to enable :    pr_debug_cls(CL_FOO, " ...")
is
   echo class CL_FOO +p > control

1st, existing dyndbg query uses, whether ad-hoc or scripted,
were not written in anticipation of new / classified subsystems.

2nd, new class users dont want to sit in coach. no damn legroom.

3rd, consider DRM, which already has drm.debug
ie:  /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
and prefers it, at least by inertia.
protecting these new class'd callsites (3-5k of them)
from casual (unintended) manipulations of the kernel-wide
dyndbg state seems prudent, and a usability win.

Not everyone will use module bar, requiring "class foo"
guarantees that changes are intentional.

Could you clarify whether you think this is a logic error
or a frame-of-reference difference as elaborated above ?

ISTM theres a place for a well-worded paragraph in doc
about the class distinction, perhaps a whole for-authors section.
