Hi,

On 9/5/26 2:46 AM, Karl Mehltretter wrote:
kernel-parameters.txt still documents ten boot parameters whose parsing
code was removed with the drivers or platforms that used them, one of
them (atarimouse=) since before the git history. One patch per
parameter, each with a Fixes: tag for the commit that removed the
parser, so the maintainers of that area are on their own patch only;
the two pata_legacy module parameters share the last one. Each entry
was checked with git grep for its __setup(), early_param() and
module_param() handler and with git log -S for the removing commit.

Changes in v2:
- patch 9: drop the Fixes: tag for 0dcd0a76370a, which removed the
  separate pata_qdi driver and not the pata_legacy parameter; both
  parameters went away in 3c4d783f6922 alone
- collect the Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags from v1

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260905070347.25902-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com/ (local)

Karl Mehltretter (9):
  docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the atarimouse= entry
  docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the bau= entry
  docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the edac_report= entry
  docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the enable_timer_pin_1 entry

  docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the omap_mux= entry
  docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the pcmv= entry

    pata_legacy.winbond entries
