Yes, please no new module parameters. A module parameter should only affect
the behavior of the driver itself (e.g. debug mode) but not be device specific.
We made this mistake in the past too often. :-(
A single driver can serve more devices. Therefore IMHO controlling this via DT
makes perfectly sense.
