I think you misunderstand the purpose of no_printk.
no_printk is used simply to validate format arguments
and not emit anything.

It's typically used for debugging like

#ifndef DEBUG
#define FOO_DBG(fmt, ...)	printk(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define FOO_DBG(fmt, ...)	no_printk(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#endif

What you've got here is effectively a comment.

More likely there was a mistake in the initial
conversion to of WL_NONE to no_printk.
