NAK, IMO it's still use for ancient drivers

Is there any that lacks a MODULE_PARM_DESC()?
If yes, shouln't we fix such drivers instead?

Even for ancient drivers net-modules.txt is outdated and sometimes lists no longer existing or doesn't document more recent parameters.

-       8390 based Network Modules              (Paul Gortmaker, Nov 12, 1995)
-       --------------------------

-(Includes: smc-ultra, ne, wd, 3c503, hp, hp-plus, e2100 and ac3200)
-
-The 8390 series of network drivers now support multiple card systems without
-reloading the same module multiple times (memory efficient!) This is done by
-specifying multiple comma separated values, such as:
-
-       insmod 3c503.o io=0x280,0x300,0x330,0x350  xcvr=0,1,0,1
