There is a dislike for adding wrappers around the existing kernel log
functions. What value does this add?

Module parameters are not liked.

I suggest you remove all these.

Debug code is reasonable to have during development. But once the
driver actually works, it should not be needed.

dev_err(dev, ..)

dev_err(dev, ...

And maybe it should actually be dev_err_probe() if this is a probe
function, and you need to handle -EPROBE_DEFER.

Debug logging should be limited to actual debug stuff. Please use the
standard logging primitives for anything which is not debug, so
dev_err(), dev_warn(), dev_info(). netdev_err(), netdev_warn() etc.
