This misses some important aspects of dev_dbg(), notably this:

#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
#define dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...)                                          \
        dynamic_dev_dbg(dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#elif defined(DEBUG)
#define dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...)                                          \
        dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...)                                          \
({                                                                      \
        if (0)                                                          \
                dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__); \
})
#endif

If DEBUG is not defined the entire dev_dbg() message is enclodes in if (0)
and compiled out of the kernel, saving space. The above does not
fulfil that.
