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.

Thanks,
Akash
