    USB: g_printer: fix bug in module parameter definitions · ad84e4a9
    Alan Stern authored
    This patch (as1442) fixes a bug in g_printer: Module parameters should
    not be marked "__initdata" if they are accessible in sysfs (i.e., if
    the mode value in the module_param() macro is nonzero).  Otherwise
    attempts to access the parameters will cause addressing violations.
    
    Character-string module parameters must not be marked "__initdata"
    if the module can be unloaded, because the kernel needs to access the
    parameter variable at unload time in order to free the
    dynamically-allocated string.
