Nice patch. Unfortunately, there are several users of this already: drivers/net/wireless/cw1200/main.c:50:module_param_array_named(macaddr, cw1200_mac_template, byte, NULL, S_IRUGO); drivers/ntb/ntb_transport.c:68:module_param(max_num_clients, byte, 0644); drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_attr.c:4207:module_param(lpfc_prot_guard, byte, S_IRUGO); drivers/usb/atm/speedtch.c:117:module_param(ModemMode, byte, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR); drivers/usb/atm/speedtch.c:121:module_param_array(ModemOption, byte, &num_ModemOption, S_IRUGO); drivers/usb/gadget/g_ffs.c:95:module_param_named(bDeviceClass, gfs_dev_desc.bDeviceClass, byte, 0644); drivers/usb/gadget/g_ffs.c:97:module_param_named(bDeviceSubClass, gfs_dev_desc.bDeviceSubClass, byte, 0644); drivers/usb/gadget/g_ffs.c:99:module_param_named(bDeviceProtocol, gfs_dev_desc.bDeviceProtocol, byte, 0644); I have CC'd all the authors, to see if changing the results of reading /sys/module/<modname>/parameters/<xxx> from a literal char to a number will harm them.
