Hello Ross.

If you want to do more than fix whitespace,
please look at the #define for DBG_871X.

All the uses with a KERN_<LEVEL> are broken
and should be modified as _dbgdump is just
printk and DRIVER_PREFIX is "RTL8723BS: "
so the KERN_<LEVEL> after the DRIVER_PREFIX.

That's just broken.

	#define DBG_871X(...)     do {\
		_dbgdump(DRIVER_PREFIX __VA_ARGS__);\
	} while (0)

Realistically, the DBG_871X macro family should just
use pr_debug and all the KERN_<LEVEL> uses should be
removed.

The define and uses of RT_TRACE should also just be
converted to use pr_debug or some other function
to perhaps reduce overall object size
