Hmm. Maybe the warning can seat in __setup() handling?
There are 300+ places that theoretically can receive blank boot param

$ git grep "__setup(\".*=\"" | wc -l
307

I'd assume that not all of those can handle blank params. At the same
time, do we have cases when passing blank boot params is OK? E.g.
"... root=/dev/sda1 foo= bar= ..."
