It needs it anyway, AFAIK. Or is there some fbdev driver which is
completely PnP? Maybe sbus* driver family, and for them you can create
fb_default_setup(), which will just retry calls to parse general parameter
for every strsep() result. In such case we have small default setup
for PnP framebuffers, and still complicated/unconfigurable framebuffers can
complain on specified unsupported arguments, or accept its own parameters.
