Yeah, this "limitation" of the dev_* printks have been known for a
while, and it was determined that for situations like this, it's not
worth using those calls.

I have a patch somewhere in my tree that will give you a nice WARN()
output if this ever happens, so as to help when trying to port a new bus
to the driver model, but it's too ugly for mainline. Ah, found it, it's
below...
