Please think of the subject and the commit message as two different
things. Often it's people reviewing on email will only read one or the
other. In other words just restate the subject:
These two debug messages have the same information. Delete the less
informative one and keep the other.

Yeah. I agree. The DBG_88E() doesn't call device_may_wakeup() unless
the module is loaded with a high enough value "rtw_debug" module option
so hopefully device_may_wakeup() does not have side effects. (It does
not).
Thanks for reviewing these patches. I do think it's nice to have
positive reviews instead of just me complaining and pointing out the
negative things. We are trying to get code merged, not trying to put up
roadblocks so maybe encouraging more Acked-by reviews is a good thing...
