You mean if you supply both -o addr=host and host:/ path name?
Because you can't leave off host:/ or it errors. If you do:

  mount("/tmp","/mnt","nfs",1,
    "port=9999,mountport=9999,nolock,v3,udp,addr=10.0.2.2");

It barfs because nfs_parse_devname() does:

  end = strchr(dev_name, ':');
  if (end == NULL)
    goto out_bad_devname;
...
out_bad_devname:
  dfprintk(MOUNT, "NFS: device name not in host:path format\n");
  return -EINVAL;

So addr= is at _best_ redundant. You MUST supply host:/ always,
the current code just wasn't using it. My patch makes it use it.

There's no other way to get the address set for the text
parsing path, when we enter nfs_validate_text_mount_data()
(the function I patched), mount_info.parsed will always be
zero.

But sure, he's a gratuitous for loop checking that you haven't
redundantly supplied both -o addr=host and host://path
