Most architectures have been passing the location of an initrd via the initrd= option since their inception. Remove the comment as it's both wrong and unrelated to the commit that introduced it.
Fixes: 694cfd87b0c8 ("x86/setup: Add an initrdmem= option to specify initrd physical address") Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Cc: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> --- For a bit more context, I assume there's been some confusion between "initrd" being a keyword in things like extlinux.conf and also that for quite a long time now initrd information is passed via device tree and not the command line on relevant architectures. But it's still true that it's been a valid command line option to the kernel since the 90s. It's just the case that in 2018 the code was consolidated from under arch/ and in to this file. --- init/do_mounts_initrd.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-)
