thanks, this was something I didn't notice (or test) yet.. a couple of
the other 'elfring fixes' I encountered (I guess there are probably
some coding standards or static analysis behind this?) actually broke
things and I have already reverted in the course of unbreaking
display/gpu on db410c..

But yeah, ->get_param() is mandatory in the ioctl path (which is
something you don't need debugfs access for).. for the paranoid
probably the better thing would be a WARN_ON(!gpu->get_param) in gpu
init path.

BR,
