It depends on the situation. In many cases there _is_ a struct device associated with the log message, even if a pointer to that device isn't available in the function. The proper solution in those cases is to make it available, by passing the function an extra "struct device *" argument. In a few cases there really is no device associated with the message. For example, if the module prints out a message when it is first loaded, there probably is no device around at that time. However, in most cases there _is_ an associated device.
