You mean something like below? Yes, it will work as well.

Pro: don't need to change existing code 
(drop [PATCH 2/2] dynamic_debug: use constant format in print_hex_dump_bytes())

Cons: format in dynamic metadata will be useless

What looks better?

#define dynamic_hex_dump(prefix_str, prefix_type, rowsize,	\
