This patch changes the option "mode_option" into "mode".

...
 
-module_param(mode, charp, 0);
-MODULE_PARM_DESC(mode, "Preferred video mode e.g. '648x480-8@60'");
+module_param(mode_option, charp, 0);
+MODULE_PARM_DESC(mode_option, "Initial video mode e.g. '648x480-8@60'");
 module_param(lowhsync, bool, 0);
 MODULE_PARM_DESC(lowhsync, "Force horizontal sync low regardless of mode");
 module_param(lowvsync, bool, 0);
But it's not backward compatible.  We'll break people's setups.

Not _much_, and we can probably live with it.  But surely it'd be pretty
simple to retain the old option as well?
