You need to write description for the change.

[PATCH] rust: kernel: module_param: replace pr_warn with pr_warn_once

[Xiaobo Liu]

Replace pr_warn!() with pr_warn_once!() in module_param::set_param() to
avoid flooding the kernel log when a null pointer is repeatedly passed.

The original code had a TODO comment noting that pr_warn_once should be
used once available. Since pr_warn_once!() is now available, switch to it
and update the comment accordingly.

Isn't this

  https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260226120848.82891-3-adarshdas950@gmail.com/

and this:

  https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260427-params-pr-once-v1-1-3a8c64704cc4@kernel.org/

? Cc'ing the authors of both. I will reply in the second one too.

(Also, your email seems to have been sent twice to the list)

In any case, Sashiko is correct, this "time-based comment" is not very useful:

> +        // `pr_warn_once` is already available, use it.

Cheers,
Miguel
