Comments say macros DRM_DEBUG_* are deprecated in favor of
drm_dbg_*(NULL, ...), but they have broken support for it,
as the macro will result in `(NULL) ? (NULL)->dev : NULL`.
Thus, fix them by separating logic to get dev ptr in a new
function, which will return the dev ptr if arg is not NULL.
Use it in drm_dbg_*, and also in __DRM_DEFINE_DBG_RATELIMITED,
where a similar (but correct) NULL check was in place.
Also, add support for NULL in __drm_printk, so that all the
drm_* macros will hence support NULL as the first argument.
This also means that deprecation comments mentioning pr_()*
can now be changed to the drm equivalents.
There is a need to support device pointers, as in some cases,
we may not have drm_device but just the device ptr, such as
when dealing with struct mipi_dsi_host. Before this change,
passing just mipi_dsi_host would have worked, since due to
preprocessing, the resultant would be "host->dev", but now
due to NULL check that cannot happen.

First of all, that's two distinct changes in one patch. The subject says
one thing, but it's really two.
But the main question is, do we *really* want to let callers pass either
struct drm_device * or struct device *? It will be type safe with
generics, but if it's okay to use either, people *will* use either. The
call sites will end up being a mixture of both. You can't control it. It
will be very tedious if you ever want to revert that decision.
Do we want to promote a style where you can pass either? To me, in C
context, it seems awfully sloppy and confusing rather than convenient.
I'd argue the struct mipi_dsi_host stuff should use dev_* calls
directly, as it's more of a special case, rather than allow struct
device * in drm_* logging macros.

I agree. I thought direct dev_* calls would not be ideal, as there is a
TODO to move away from that, and also incorrectly expected to have more
such dev ptr problems. But on a second thought, you are correct.
Should I post a new patch, with using __drm_dev_ptr instead and
removing the __get_dev_ptr generic macro, and using dev_* in
drm_mipi_dsi.c as `dev_err(dev, "*ERROR* [drm] <msg>", ...);`?

I think commit 1040e424353f ("drm: mipi-dsi: Convert logging to drm_*
functions.") and any similar ones should just be reverted. It worked by
accident. You're supposed to pass struct drm_device * to the drm_*
logging functions, and that passes struct mipi_dsi_host *.
