From 57ada2358fae8c3df0f810c3a7196f074da01c98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olaf Hering Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2023 16:53:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix documentation of panic_on_warn The kernel cmdline option panic_on_warn expects an integer, it is not a plain option as documented. A number of uses in the tree figured this already, and use panic_on_warn=1 for their purpose. Adjust a comment which otherwise may mislead people in the future.
