ACK.
I initially used #ifdef VERBOSE_DEBUG but then inadvertently replaced
it by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_VERBOSE_DEBUG) instead of
defined(VERBOSE_DEBUG).

NACK.

There is a need. net_ratelimit() will continue to emit those messages:

  net_ratelimit: xxxx callbacks suppressed

The goal of this check is to guard net_ratelimit(), not to guard netdev_vdbg().

If you want to send a v2, please also add the fix tag:
