platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Add a comment about 0 in module_param_call()

andy-shev · andy-shev · commit 9b4bbbd2aebb · 2017-05-15T12:07:40.000+03:00
As per discussion [1] there are only few users of module_param_call() in kernel which prevent to read module parameters back. It thinkpad_acpi driver there is even no method do so. Thus, for now, add just a comment to explain why 0 is used as permissions in module_param_call().
