Hi David, You're right. It could introduce regressions for users of analog joysticks passing module parameters via scripts or boot configs. Additionally, digging through list history: Dmitry reviewed this same call in 2011 [1] and chose to leave it, noting the complex parsing semantics were intentional for this context. Withdrawing the patch. Thanks for the review. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20111108034805.GA21927@core.coreip.homeip.net/ Thanks, Akash
