It's generally nicer to break the line at the end
of the format sting like:

DBG_8723A("%s, free acl_node_queue, num =%d\n",
__func__, pacl_list->num);

though it'd be even better to convert all of these
DBG_8723A uses to pr_debug

$ git ls-files drivers/staging/rtl8723au/ | \
  xargs sed -r -i \
-e 's/\bDBG_8723A\b/pr_debug/g' \
  -e 's/\bMSG|8723A\b/pr_debug/g'
