Module parameters are from the 1990's, let us never add new ones if at all possible. These are global options, for all devices in the system. Instead, use per-device settings if you really need to change these values. But I would even push back on that and ask why these values need to be changed at all. What hardware is broken so badly that our timeout settings do not work properly? Can we modify them gracefully to "just work" without any need for tweaking or requiring any modification by a user at all? That would be the better solution instead of requiring users to do this on their own when confronted by misbehaving hardware. thanks, greg k-h
