Don't misuse module parameters, please. If you have more devices, this single parameter will affect all of them. That's not a good approach, especially when the value you are trying to change can be changed on the fly.

However, I'm not against setting the initial value to the lowest rate available. As Johannes pointed out, if the rate control algorithm isn't able to quickly migrate to higher rates, it's a good candidate for rewrite.
I'm more than a little confused. First you tell me that setting the initial rate with a module parameter is bad because it sets a value for all _MY_ devices, then you say that you will allow a change that would affect _EVERYONE'S_ devices. Huh? I wrote the code the way I did because I thought it was much better to allow a local solution rather than a global one.
