Re: mode_option or mode parameter (was: i810fb module parameter 'mode_option' inconsistent with other framebuffer modules)

From Documentation/fb/modedb.txt:

---
When a frame buffer device receives a video= option it doesn't know, it
should consider that to be a video mode option. If no frame buffer
device is specified in a video= option, fbmem considers that to be a
global video mode option.

Valid mode specifiers (mode_option argument):
...

From this I believe that "mode_option" is the standard way, It also

indicates that the parameter name itself is optional, but I am not sure
if there is an overall Linux standard for indicating optional parameter
names.

If the mode_option is the correct one please email Andrew Morton to remove the patch I made for i810fb.
I will fix drivers which use the "mode" option.

P.S.: Krzysztof, maybe it would be a good idea to update fbmode.txt
too, as there are now many more framebuffer drivers which support video
mode naming.

I'll update it with every driver I reworked.

Regards,
Krzysztof
