In that case (compiled as a module) the i810fb driver uses
module_param().
One of the circumstances that this bug discusses is the driver being
loaded as a module with command-line options by the boot-loader.
My observations suggest that in the case of a module the boot-time
command-line isn't being used, for whatever reason.
I'm trying to determine at what point in the boot process the driver
module is loaded, and where/how the options are being passed to it.
A reference to a kernel source file where that occurs would assist me
tremendously.
TJ.
