From: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
commit ae82fdb1406ad41d68f07027fe31f2d35ba22a90 upstream.
Commit 026cee0086fe1df4cf74691cf273062cc769617d "params:
<level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
parameters to level 0. And we call those level 0 calls where we used
to, early in start_kernel().
We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
module_params before the corresponding initcall. Unfortunately level
0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.
(Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).
Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.
