True, at least until I've made sure that there isn't any

I really am not going to apply a patch that likely just adds another
redundant field to the linker scripts. So the ack I'm just ignoring,

:-)

But it would be good to get the "remove the legacy __param thing
because it's already there from the asm-generic version" confirmed by
testing, and not just looking at the source code.

Testing shows no problems with the below patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Drop redundant __param section for CRISv32.

The __param section is already brought in by RODATA above.
