The idea was to pass 'struct something' and then have a 'dev' named
member inside that's a struct device.

struct something {
struct device *dev;
...
};

Then the macro will extract the device out of it and use it to print
messages. It may be an abuse of the macro though because initially I
thought it needed to be a drm device but that doesn't seem to be the
case?
