    paride: make 'verbose' parameter an 'int' again · dec63a4d
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    gcc-6.0 found an ancient bug in the paride driver, which had a
    "module_param(verbose, bool, 0);" since before 2.6.12, but actually uses
    it to accept '0', '1' or '2' as arguments:
    
      drivers/block/paride/pd.c: In function 'pd_init_dev_parms':
      drivers/block/paride/pd.c:298:29: warning: comparison of constant '1' with boolean expression is always false [-Wbool-compare]
       #define DBMSG(msg) ((verbose>1)?(msg):NULL)
    
    In 2012, Rusty did a cleanup patch that also changed the type of the
    variable to 'bool', which introduced what is now a gcc warning.
    
    This changes the type back to 'int' and adapts the module_param() line
    instead, so it should work as documented in case anyone ever cares about
    running the ancient driver with debugging.
    
    Fixes: 90ab5ee9 ("module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)")
