One may notice that dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG ...) is *not* an equivalent to dev_dbg(). It will be printed whenever loglevel is high enough. And currently it will be the only message in the I²C core in some configurations that got printed under above conditions. Moving to dev_dbg() will hide it in the configurations where Dynamic Debug is enabled and hence align with all other debug messages in the I²C core..
