This (widely used) construction:

if(printk_ratelimit())
dev_dbg()

Causes the ratelimiting to spam the kernel log with the "callbacks suppressed"
message below, even while the dev_dbg it is supposed to rate limit wouldn't
print anything because DEBUG is not defined for this device.

[  533.803964] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  538.807930] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  543.811897] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  548.815745] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  553.819826] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed

So use dev_dbg_ratelimited() instead of this construction.
