Describe problem solved by the proposed pull request
The ground control stations sends a param_set message with param_type on it. but the firmware doesn't really use or check it.
the type is set the ground station by using some ground knowledge, for example, in QGC it has the metadata by caching data from .px4 files. but, if the data doesn't match, it might send parameter using bad type.
that can be abit protected by not allowing to flash that parameters on the px4 side.
