Hi Dmitry,

thanks for your patch!

This misses some important aspects of dev_dbg(), notably this:

#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
#define dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...) \
dynamic_dev_dbg(dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#elif defined(DEBUG)
#define dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...) \
dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...) \
({ \
if (0) \
dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__); \
})
#endif

If DEBUG is not defined the entire dev_dbg() message is enclodes in if (0)
and compiled out of the kernel, saving space. The above does not
fulfil that.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
