This is not going to work, rx and tx delays are inherent properties of
PCB/board designs, you want to be able to get that value from your
platform configuration, Device Tree would certainly be preferred here.
Asking an user to figure this out through module parameters is going to
be both error prone, and limiting yourself to no more than one instance.

you could do a tail-call return directly?

You could use module_phy_driver to eliminate some boilerplate here.
