Have you ever looked at a WiFi driver? I haven't seen a single one
that uses netif_*() for logging. On the other hand, almost every
single one has a similar module parameter or debugfs knob for enabling
different types of debug messages.

As it stands, the NETIF_* categories don't really align at all with
the kinds of message categories most WiFi drivers support. Do you
propose adding a bunch of new options to the netif debug feature?
