Oh.

Looking at the code, much better fix would be...

Move IEEE80211_DEBUG() to use netdev_dbg() [dev_dbg() or pr_dbg() as
last resort) and actually drop it completely in favour of the
netdev_dbg() followed by removing __func__ parameter completely from
the messages as DYNAMIC DEBUG will do this if user asks so.

The IEEE80211_DEBUG_DATA() should be just print_hex_dump().

P.S. I would rather NAK this patch because it brings nothing, just a
waste of time for my opinion.
