How about ...


[PATCH] Remove superfluous definition of __setup_null_param() macro and broken (for MODULE) __setup_param()

From: Robert P. J. Day <[email protected]>

Remove superfluous definition of __setup_null_param() macro, as nobody
uses it anymore.

Also kill the #ifdef-MODULE-case (empty) definition for __setup_param.
It is only required for the !MODULE case, as __setup() is empty for
the MODULE case already. Also, no user outside init.h must use
__setup_null_param directly anyway (and nobody does), so it's not
something whose empty definition we necessarily need to make available
to rest of the kernel. Moreover, this MODULE case of __setup_param has
been broken for more than two years now -- as far back as git history
takes us. Let's get rid of it.
