I was wondering where that DEBUG is defined and found that it's done in
the Makefile:

subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_BRCMDBG)	+= -DDEBUG

I think that DEBUG define should be removed and instead CONFIG_BRCMDBG
should be used all over the brcmfmac and brcmsmac code. A cleanup patch
doing this is very welcome.

This would be a good task for someone new to kernel development, is
there a way to report these kind of simple tasks?
