Confused a bit.  What breaks again?

debug.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG
[]
__printf(5, 6)
void _rtl_dbg_trace(struct rtl_priv *rtlpriv, int comp, int level,
		    const char *modname, const char *fmt, ...);

#define RT_TRACE(rtlpriv, comp, level, fmt, ...)			\
	_rtl_dbg_trace(rtlpriv, comp, level,				\
		       KBUILD_MODNAME, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
[]
#else
[]
__printf(4, 5)
static inline void RT_TRACE(struct rtl_priv *rtlpriv,
			    int comp, int level,
			    const char *fmt, ...)
{
}
[]
#endif
