dev_dbg() is defined in include/linux/device.h as

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

We thus need the #define DEBUG it appear before the first time device.h is 
included, either directly or indirectly. Adding #define DEBUG to iss.h won't 
work now as iss.h is included after all system includes (which is the usual 
practice, #include <...> come before #include "...").
