assuming this is historical at this point, and manual options parsing can
be removed from all fb drivers at this point, or is there another reason
why manual parsing would be necessary?

Could I get an answer from the fbdevel folks about this?  It looks like
the fb_get_options stuff is there for backwards compatibility.

I think so. I used fb_get_options() in arkfb and vt8623fb for mode option
only. Universal notation module.option=value is much nicer than manual
options parsing.
