Does it make sense to add a module parameter for device type(wilc1000 or
wilc3000) to address device-specific featurization.

We don't do hacks like that in upstream, it's expected that the driver
does this all automatically.

Marek has already submitted the patch to delay calling wiphy_register() so it
should work at run time for both the devices.
I'm just curious to know for which scenario the module parameters should be
used. Can it be used for enabling or disabling any feature, configuring any
parameters, instead of complete device-specific featurization.
Module parameters are applicable for tunables which cannot be otherwise configured at runtime. Runtime configuration is always preferable. For the wilc, I don't think there is anything which has to be a module parameter, maybe firmware filename could be it.
