But then the code will be compiled for !CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
case, it does compile for me:

-  22475	   1160	      0	  23635	   5c53	drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-rs.o
+  23008	   1168	      0	  24176	   5e70	drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-rs.o

How about moving  
static const struct il_rate_mcs_info il_rate_mcs[RATE_COUNT]
under CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS ? Maybe inside the function that use it ?
