[PATCH v1] Fix documentation of panic_on_warn

From: Olaf Hering
Date: Fri Jun 30 2023 - 11:06:35 EST


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.

Fixes: 9e3961a097 ("kernel: add panic_on_warn")
