Only trivial notes:

Maybe try checkpatch with the --strict option and see
if any of the additional messages are important to you.

It might be nice to rearrange the code to avoid these forward
function declarations.

It might be nicer to add:

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

before any #include to output all the logging messages with
a standardized prefix.  Then all the other logging with an
embedded prefix can have the embedded prefix removed too.

	tport->enabled = tmp;
