As per request from Jonathan, I ended dropping those rdev_dbg()
on a followup patch.

Btw, after this changeset:

commit 563873318d328d9bbab4b00dfd835ac7c7e28697

Merge branch 'printk-cleanups'

Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches.

the printk lib will add a line feed if a "\n" is missing. I had
to get rid of pr_cont() & friends on that time on media, due to that.

Thanks,
Mauro
