Subject: [PATCH] Ignore trailing whitespace on kernel parameters correctly
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f36462f078403c1859a7e58177b28e01b3a179e4;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] Ignore trailing whitespace on kernel parameters correctly

Dave Jones says:

... if the modprobe.conf has trailing whitespace, modules fail to load
with the following helpful message..

	snd_intel8x0: Unknown parameter `'

Previous version truncated last argument.
