Subject: [PATCH v2] Revert "drm/vmwgfx: Replace numeric parameter like 0444 with macro"
Date: Sat,  4 Feb 2017 19:17:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170204181727.15426-1-sunny@sunbase.org> (raw)

This reverts commit 2d8e60e8b0742b7a5cddc806fe38bb81ee876c33.

The commit belongs to the series of 1285 patches sent to LKML on
2016-08-02, it changes the representation of file permissions from the
octal value "0600" to "S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR".

The general consensus was that the changes does not increase
readability, quite the opposite; 0600 is easier to parse mentally than
S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR.

It also causes argument inconsistency, due to commit 04319d89fbec
("drm/vmwgfx: Add an option to change assumed FB bpp") that added
another call to module_param_named() where the permissions are written
as 0600.

This is a resend of the patch originally sent on 2017-01-16. The only
difference from v1 is an improved commit message with some more details.
