Why early_param? Nothing cares about this during early boot.

Lacks a comment that this is an intentional approximation.

Please align the arguments in the second line properly.

This wants to be in the if() branch where it is actually used.

Even if not required by C, the else clause wants brackets too for
symmetry.

        if (foo)
        	bar();
        else
                baz();

parses perfectly fine.

        if (foo) {
                do_stuff();
        	bar();
        } else
                baz();

is asymmetrical and disturbs the reading flow, which is pattern
based. The extra brackets just make it easier to parse:

        if (foo) {
                do_stuff();
        	bar();
        } else {
                baz();
        }

See?
