Subject: [PATCH 11/11] moduleparam: Drop legacy kernel_param_ops .get_str field and dispatch logic
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 06:33:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521133326.2465264-11-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521133315.work.845-kees@kernel.org>

All struct kernel_param_ops .get callbacks have been migrated to using
struct seq_buf. Drop the migration scaffolding.
