The comment for the function says they are both optional:

/**
* module_param_cb - general callback for a module/cmdline parameter
* @name: a valid C identifier which is the parameter name.
* @ops: the set & get operations for this parameter.
* @perm: visibility in sysfs.
*
* The ops can have NULL set or get functions.
*/

This has no visibility in sysfs, so I can't see how having a NULL
get() is a problem. What's the issue you're trying to fix here?

Maybe I'm missing something?
