Only the first line in dmesg will be prefixed with device
information this way.  This can make it difficult to use
"$ grep qlcnic" dmesg easily.  It might be better to use
3 lines or just 1 line.

			dev_info(dev, "id = %d active = %d type = %d port = %d min bw = %d max bw = %d mac_addr = %pM\n",
				 npar->pci_func, npar->active, npar->type,
				 npar->phy_port, npar->min_bw, npar->max_bw,
				 npar->mac);

I'd've used colons to shorten it a bit too:

			dev_info(dev, "id:%d active:%d type:%d port:%d min_bw:%d max_bw:%d mac_addr:%pM\n",
				 npar->pci_func, npar->active, npar->type,
				 npar->phy_port, npar->min_bw, npar->max_bw,
				 npar->mac);
