Why would we add the debug flag in a default kernel compile?

Should that the not be enabled in the driver code based on DBEUG or
IEEE80211_DEBUG or like for other drivers be an option?
For exmaple, we do have RTWN_DEBUG, ATH_DEBUG*, BWI_DEBUG*, BWN_DEBUG,
MALO_DEBUG, MWL_DEBUG, IWM_DEBUG, IWN_DEBUG, WPI_DEBUG for various
wireless drivers.

I don't see what iwx should be special?
