I have to rephrase that, the situation is much more complicated (sigh). The only pattern I see is that drivers which support ModeDB (e.g. i810fb) use the parameter name 'video_mode' which can then be optional, while others (e.g. cirrusfb) use hardcoded video modes and _require_ the parameter name to be present, which must then be called 'mode'.
