Wonder if this should really be 2 (enable DRV and PROBE) or 3 (enable
DRV, PROBE and LINK; equivalent to current behaviour)?

This works, but not the way you intended.  The first parameter is
supposed to be a module parameter with a default of -1.  The second
parameter is supposed to be the bitmask to use when that default is not
overridden.
