Shouldn't that be sm501.mode ?

No, the name of the source file is sm501fb.c -> sm501fb is right here.
As the sm501 is a multifunction device, the "fb" is more precise here.

However, I think that these shouldn't be added to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
but should be added to the Documentation/fb/ sub-directory either by adding to
Documentation/fb/modedb.txt or by adding a new file Documentation/fb/sm501.txt.

Ok, do this. Thanks for the review!

bye,
Heiko
