this is actually a quite common issue - taking your example and generalizing
it into a simple coccinelle scanner shows aproximately 1400 cases for
module_param, module_param_array and module_param_named.

as S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH == S_IRUGO this (and the others below
could be simplfied

+module_param_array(dsp_map, int, NULL, S_IRUGO);

for 0644 one could also use S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO which might be more redaable
here as well.

thx!
