Subject: modinfo: fixup type-only parm print format
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7fbcb099071312faa9e97b852dc7cefc8356b4a5;p=thirdparty%2Fkmod.git

modinfo: fixup type-only parm print format

The generic (full) expression is:
 - "$name:$parm ($type)"

Although currently, if no $parm is available and --field isn't used we
instead print:
 - "$name:$type"
