My only concern is that now old customers who set buflen module
parameter will break.

It might be better to leave it, document as deprecated and ignore its
value except for printing a warning if user sets it. With that
approach, a comment indicating the parameter should be removed all
together in say a year, should be added as well.

I’m fine either way though. Not sure how many people use this gadget
, the parameter and up to date kernel. Perhaps it’s fine to just break
those few?
