I'd personally go for one of these two, in this order:

1) debugfs item

2) module parameter with the ability to change at run-time.  Set the
mode of the parameter as read-write, then before making any association
attempt or something check the value and set diversity if it's changed.
This doesn't give you notifications if the value changed (which debugfs
would do) but it might be OK for you.
