module parameters and 2.6 macros

module parameters and 2.6 macros

[Jon Smirl]

Is there some way to avoid two sets of parsing code with the 2.6 module
parameter macros?

With the new module parameter macros I can do this:
modprobe radeon debug=1 cards_limit=10

compiled in I need:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8.1 radeon=debug:1,cards_limit:10

For the compiled in case the driver has a parser which decodes the
string. I'd like to remove this parser.

Is this what MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE() is for but the code isn't
written yet?

Yes, if you use module_param{,_named} and a paramter 'foo' you can use
foo=1 at modprobe time and modulename.foo=1 at the kernel command line
