DM doesn't like module parameters.

Better to calculate the pad size once:
align = (-(long)skb->data) & 3;
should do it - and you can unconditionally add it in.

You don't want to call skb_push() twice.
IIRC really horrid things happen if the data has to be copied.
(Actually what happens to the alignment in that case??)
And there is another skb_push() below....

You don't need the cast here at all (if it was ever needed).
Actually you don't need the new 'data_len' variable.
Just set tx_cmd_b earlier.
