This file already uses pr_debug in a few places; this converts the

Are you aware that printk(KERN_DEBUG, ...) and pr_debug() are not equivalent?

Yes, and that is a good thing, you should be using pr_debug() instead of
printk(KERN_DEBUG...).

Why object to something like this?

I'm not objecting, just asking. There have been many cases in my practice where a patch author wasn't aware of that...
It's just that these printk()'s could have been intentional (not to depend on DEBUG or dynamic debugging).
