First of all, make sure that \ (backslashes) occupy the same column on each
line of this macro. Next one, it's better to add a temporary variable to
hold the platform data pointer. Something like

	struct fbtft_platform_data *__pd = dev_get_platdata(dev);	    \
									    \
	if (unlikely(pd && pd->display.debug & DEBUG_DRIVER_INIT_FUNCTIONS) \
		dev_info(dev, format, ##arg);				    \

And last, but not least, have you checked with `git grep` how it's being used?
