Hi Julia
There is such header file which declares net_dbg.
We can use dev_dbg() for all struct device object.
We can use netdev_dbg() for all struct netdevice object.
For net subsystem when there is no struct device object we can go with
net_dbg_ratelimited (preferred) or pr_debug.
I have understood this from my readings. If I am wrong somewhere
please correct me.
Thanks
