Actually there are more (at least hypothetical) changes than the declared
change of printed device name.

If DEBUG is not set there can be _more_ messages printed
when your patch is applied as-is (i.e. all DBG() invocations will
expand into some dev_dbg(), whereas before the patch is applied
they compile into nothing).

In the same spirit, the above block could be considered valid.

Not sure, how much of an issue it is, though.

Regards,

Andrzej
