Likely it's not possible to stop the Mac Flappinng events.
The Mac addresses that seem to be flapping, what do they belong to? Wireless Clients?
If so, bad luck. It's most likely due to clients roaming between Access Points, faster than the entry in the mac address table expiring.

Then this is expected behaviour as your wifi clients are roaming and:or constantly talking to the APs on your network

As pointed out by @rhbirkelund, these will be roaming wifi clients.

If you want to avoid the mac flapping events you could switch to Layer 3 Roamiing instead of bridging your clients directly to the LAN.
But this is a design change to the Wireless Network Infrastructure, so I would be cautious of just switching to Layer 3. Preferably, Lab it first, and then roll out in phases.

Also note there will be assorted other results of doing this, for example, wireless roaming of devices on voice calls is often more noticeable to the end user.

You can't stop them from being logged, but you can exclude them from your view.
