This is not the 1990's, don't use module parameters if you can help it.
Why is this needed, and where is it documented?

If open does nothing, just don't even provide it.

Same for ioctl.

Same for release.

Why did you just set a structure to 0 that was already initialized by
the system to 0?  Are you sure about this?

Again, drop all ratelimited stuff please.
