[PATCH v2 1/9] docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the atarimouse= entry

From: Karl Mehltretter <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-05 09:47:14
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-doc, linux-edac, linux-ide, linux-m68k, linux-omap, linux-samsung-soc
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Nothing in the tree parses atarimouse=. drivers/input/mouse/atarimouse.c
only takes a module parameter, and git log -S finds no __setup() for the
boot parameter anywhere in the git history, so the entry has been stale
since before it.

Drop the entry.

Found by cross-checking every documented name against the __setup(),
early_param() and core_param() registrations in the tree.
