I think oz_trace is a poor name.
It implies you're using the trace subsystem
trace_flags as a global name is also poor
g_oz_wpan_dev is too as it limits the module to
a single dev instance.

I suggest:

#define oz_dbg(level, fmt, ...)					\
do {								\
	if (level & oz_dbg_mask)				\
		dev_dbg(g_oz_wpan_dev, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);	\
} while (0)

or better avoiding the single dev:

#define oz_dbg(level, dev, fmt, ...)				\
do {								\
	if (level & oz_dbg_mask)				\
		dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);		\
} while (0)
