Hi Dave,

Removing all the module parameters from the driver would put us at a
disadvantage with respect to tuning the driver and hardware. I have not
not been able to find alternatives, considering every other driver uses
module parameters. Could you provide pointers to the generic kernel
facilities you mentioned in your last post?

Thanks,
Naresh.
