This won't work, I still see the debug message:

[  333.765867] ieee80211 phy0: WBRF is not supported

The issue seems to be that mac80211 defines DEBUG in
net/mac80211/Makefile:

ccflags-y += -DDEBUG

That -DDEBUG should be cleaned up, but I think separately. It's just
that I cannot come up with any good proposal, all the macros in
net/mac80211/debug.h require sdata and we don't have that in this stage.
Any ideas?
