It'd be hard to replace it with only dev_dbg
as no struct device is always available.

And anyway, why go slowly?  Why not just do it?

There's 41 files / 1442 instances

$ git grep --name-only -E "^\s*#\s*include\s*[\<\"]linux/usb\.h[\>\"]" | \
	xargs grep -El "\bdbg\s*\("|wc -l
41
$ git grep --name-only -E "^\s*#\s*include\s*[\<\"]linux/usb\.h[\>\"]" | \
	xargs grep -E "\bdbg\s*\(" | wc -l
1442

There are also 5 redefinitions of dbg in there.

Yeah, Typos happen.

Paul's imagery was certainly colorful though a bit
umm, dispassionate. ;)
