Hi Arnd

Would it not be better to fix the macro?

I think the issue is that dev_dbg_ratelimited calls no_printk(),
without making use of dev. So how about:

#define dev_dbg_ratelimited(dev, fmt, ...) \
({ \
if (0) \
dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
})

This follows the pattern for other macros for when DEBUG is not defined.
