 * is writable, you may need to use kernel_param_lock() around
 * accesses (esp. charp, which can be kfreed when it changes).
 *
 * The @type is simply pasted to refer to a param_ops_##type and a
 * param_check_##type: for convenience many standard types are provided but
 * you can create your own by defining those variables.
 *
 * Standard types are:
 *	byte, hexint, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
 *	charp: a character pointer
 *	bool: a bool, values 0/1, y/n, Y/N.

 * module_param_hw_array - A parameter representing an array of hw parameters
 * @name: the name of the array variable
 * @type: the type, as per module_param()
 * @hwtype: what the value represents (enum hwparam_type)
 * @nump: optional pointer filled in with the number written
 * @perm: visibility in sysfs
 *
 * Input and output are as comma-separated values.  Commas inside values
 * don't work properly (eg. an array of charp).
 *
 * ARRAY_SIZE(@name) is used to determine the number of elements in the
 * array, so the definition must be visible.
