It's used with and without access to a struct device.

The uses that have a struct device available should be
dev_<foo> and with a struct net_device should be netdev_<foo>
though that's a wider change.

It's also used in consecutive calls without newline where
KERN_CONT should be used instead.

Please don't drop the sender.
