When someone goes and enable DEBUG for fbcon they are also able to
recognize the logging, so the printing of the function name is redundant
in this case.

There is likely limited to no use for these few logging entries, but if
they should be dropped then I expect Peilin Ye to do so as he is the
only one doing active maintenance of fbcon lately.
