No, please no. Let's delete it now, you do not have a custom
api/interface for controlling logging levels of a single driver that is
separate from the entire rest of the kernel. Use what everyone else
uses, the default interfaces we have and all use.
And we do not leave code around in the kernel "to be used in the
future", if it is not used now, it gets deleted. You can easily add it
back later if you really need it, that's the beauty of git :)
