Yeah, you don't need an additional module parameter. You can just move

static char *binder_devices_param = CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES;
module_param_named(devices, binder_devices_param, charp, 0444);

from binder.c to binder_internal.h and expose it to binder.c and
binderfs.c this way. This will work just fine since binderfs.c doesn't
modify the parameter and binder.c makes a copy of it before doing so.
