Subject: [PATCH v2 11/26] staging: rtl8723bs: remove redundant MAC_ARG macro

From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@...ux.dev>

The driver already uses the kernel's %pM format specifier for printing
MAC addresses. The MAC_ARG() macro was a no-op that simply returned its
argument, making it redundant when used with %pM.
This addresses TODO item: find codes that can use %pM formatting.
