Add YA check to printk style.

dev_<level> uses are functions and generate smaller
object code than dev_printk(KERN_<LEVEL>.

This suggests dev_dbg() instead of dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG), doesn't it?
 Those aren't equivalent (dev_printk() always does the printk, but in
many cases dev_dbg() does not, depending on CONFIG_DEBUG,
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG, etc.)

True, I think the suggested change is appropriate though.

If people really want debug output in a specific file,
then they should #define DEBUG and/or enable dynamic debug.

Is there some sublty I am not seeing here such that level2 is necessary?
As far as I can see the two above could be the below to the same effect?

			$level2= "dbg" if ($level eq "debug");

(With the obvious change to the print of course)

No, your vision is 20/20, it's not necessary.

It was a copy/paste from the pr_<level> conversion above it
where 2 styles to convert to (dev_dbg and pr_debug) are used.

Here there is just one form and your review is appreciated.
I'll submit a V2 later.
