Hello Nimantha,

ath_dbg(), defined in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.h, works only if
ath9k driver debugging is on (CPTCFG_ATH_DEBUG is defined). Otherwise it
is an empty function and it is exactly how it works in standard build.
I recommend to use similar functions defined there that put information
in logs regardless of debug flags, for example ath_info().

Have fun!

Michal
