Subject: lib/cmdline: allow NULL to be an output for get_option()
X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/unified/20230118.172025~8285^2~67
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b2b6b864684848f9deacb6d0faa00626860832e;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

lib/cmdline: allow NULL to be an output for get_option()

In the future we would like to use get_option() to only validate the
string and parse it separately.  To achieve this, allow NULL to be an
output for get_option().
