If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jean Delvare commit c84c14224bbca6ec60d5851fcc87be0e34df2f44 upstream.

The missing leading "0" causes the following: $ ls -l /sys/module/carminefb/parameters/ total 0 -rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:55 fb_displays -rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:55 fb_mode -rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:55 fb_mode_str After fixing the perm parameter, we get the expected: $ ls -l /sys/module/carminefb/parameters/ total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:56 fb_displays -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:56 fb_mode -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:56 fb_mode_str Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Paul Mundt Cc: Sebastian Siewior Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/video/carminefb.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/video/carminefb.c +++ b/drivers/video/carminefb.c @@ -31,11 +31,11 @@ #define CARMINEFB_DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE 1 static unsigned int fb_mode = CARMINEFB_DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE; -module_param(fb_mode, uint, 444); +module_param(fb_mode, uint, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(fb_mode, "Initial video mode as integer."); static char *fb_mode_str; -module_param(fb_mode_str, charp, 444); +module_param(fb_mode_str, charp, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(fb_mode_str, "Initial video mode in characters."); /* @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ MODULE_PARM_DESC(fb_mode_str, "Initial v * 0b010 Display 1 */ static int fb_displays = CARMINE_USE_DISPLAY0 | CARMINE_USE_DISPLAY1; -module_param(fb_displays, int, 444); +module_param(fb_displays, int, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(fb_displays, "Bit mode, which displays are used"); struct carmine_hw {
