Assume that the driver does not own the option string or its substrings
and hence duplicate the option string for the video mode. The driver only
parses the option string once as part of module initialization, so use
a static buffer to store the duplicated mode option. Linux automatically
frees the memory upon releasing the module.

Done in preparation of switching the driver to struct option_iter and
constifying the option string.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your patch!

Are you sure about that?
All of this code is inside "#ifndef MODULE".
In the aty128fb case, the function is not marked __init.
Enabling these 3 drivers adds 3x256 bytes of static buffer, more
if you enable more fbdev drivers.

Right. Please see my reply to [00/99].
