[Bug 55806] Re: Security permissions

[Ben Collins]

Yes, this seems to be a typo in the converion from MODULE_PARM() to
module_param().

The reason I've only marked it Medium, is that while it does allow
changing this value, the value is really only used when the module is
initialized. For this to be a problem. The batter would have to be
removed prior to boot, the option changed while the battery is out, and
then the battery inserted.

Even then, the issue is one of false information from the battery state
rather than any sort of security issue.
