Yes, dev_dbg & co. would be better.

However, one thing I dislike about them is the extra stuff they print.
For example, for omapfb and omapdss dev_dbg will print:

omapfb omapfb: foo
omapdss_dss omapdss_dss: foo

I originally added the debug macros to omapdss to be able to
automatically print the DSS module name, as at that point there was only
one big omapdss device. And I guess I just followed with similar macro
in omapfb also. But I believe both omapdss and omapfb should be changed
to dev_* prints sometime soon.
