This looks good but I'm uncomfortable about the precedent of four exceptions to the usual pattern when specifying units and scaling of run-time parameters.
The four exceptions are reading hidden diffusivity values, for checking or defaults, and not following the pattern for all other parameters which would normally have scale=US%m2_s_to_Z2_T . However, the new code instead (and correctly) sets scale=1 because these parameters are being used in MKS units instead of MOM6 units. In each case it seems a different approach could have avoided using MKS inside the model which would avoid breaking the pattern (which is documentation of how to do things). It would be all too easy (though unlikely) for one of these exceptions to the pattern to used as a template by someone else.
Documented numerous internal variables and their units in 9 vertical parameterization modules (MOM_bkgnd_mixing, MOM_bulk_mixed_layer, MOM_diabatic_aux, MOM_diabatic_driver, MOM_entrain_diffusive, MOM_kappa_shear, MOM_regularize_layers, MOM_set_diffusivity and MOM_set_viscosity). This commit includes the addition of units arguments in 9 unlogged get_param calls while 4 of these calls are now being scaled into the units used in MOM6 and then unscaled when used as the default for other parameters. A number of spelling errors were also corrected in comments. All answers and output are bitwise identical.

Perfect! Testing at https://gitlab.gfdl.noaa.gov/ogrp/MOM6/-/pipelines/17566
