Are you sure that was the commit that changed it ?
that commit is only getting rid of the debug() macro and making use of
dev_vdbg().

If you had just followed git blame you'd see that was already the
default value on n810's lm8323 platform_data since the initial import of
that code into linux-omap.

I do recall testing my patches on n810 before sending them upstream and
they were working. How are you testing this ? which tree are you using ?
did you try changing that keysize calculation ? Do you see irqs comming?
Any debugging messages ?
