'Morning Jason.

Funny.  Crossed emails.

I still don't think this is better.

This does add an effectively unused "" to non-dynamic debug builds.
ie: the more common paths are encumbered as dynamic_debug isn't
a normally enabled distribution CONFIG_ option.

About the patch:

Wouldn't dev_printk_emit now would have a single caller and
could be made static?

Don't __dev_printk and __netdev_printk need EXPORT_SYMBOLs?

cheers, Joe
