I did wonder about that. However, cmdline_find_option() is specifically documented as
- Find a non-boolean option (i.e. option=argument). In accordance with
- standard Linux practice, if this option is repeated, this returns the
- last instance on the command line.
Okay so would need a special version that uses the first and an option to pass the cmdline string.
And since that appeared in 2017 I decided to stick with the new-fangled interface :) This is a little-used feature; I'm not sure it's worth the effort of parsing the command line for the old style. What do you think?
I'm not sure it's that little used. We use it quite a bit for testing and workarounds, and it might be that some of those are deployed.
