NCR does use pr_debug for the dprintk call, but

drivers/scsi/NCR5380.h- do { if ((NDEBUG) & (flg)) pr_debug(fmt, ## args); } while (0)
[]
drivers/scsi/NCR5380.h-#else
drivers/scsi/NCR5380.h:#define dprintk(flg, fmt, args...)     do {} while (0)

It'd be nice to change the last do {} while (0)
to something like:

#define dprintk(flg, fmt, args...) \
do { if (0) pr_debug(fmt, ## args); } while (0)

so the compiler can always verify but not emit any
actual code or format strings.

Also, using macros with ... and __VA_ARGS__ is
a bit more modern.

#define dprintk(flg, fmt, ...) \
do { if (0) pr_debug(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); } while (0)

Na, no_printk():

#define dprintk(flg, fmt, ...) no_printk(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
