Perhaps you needn't do that.

I think there's little to be gained to move the test
outwards and not perform the netif_msg##type(priv)

Shrug.  I think that dynamic_debug will have continuing
impacts on various subsystems unless there's some generic
__dynamic_dbg() and _prefix() mechanism introduced into
more generic <foo>_dbg style.

Anything logging message that uses <foo>_dbg or <foo>_vdbg
is a candidate for dynamic_debug uses, but there's no
current generic mechanism to avoid subsystem specific needs.

Any of these could need some dynamic_debug consideration:
