No, I don't lose anything. When I do debug I know that all debug
messages comes from my driver. dev_dbg will give me few device
identifiers which I don't care so much. IMO, the device information
makes more sense to dev_err/warn/err variants. On the other side we
will have dev_dbg_level(group) if still someone needs the device
information.
