Assume that the driver does not own the option string or its substrings
and hence duplicate the option string for the video mode. Allocate the
copy's memory with devm_kstrdup(), as the driver parses the option string
once per probed device. Linux will automatically free the memory upon
releasing the device.
Done in preparation of switching the driver to struct option_iter and
constifying the option string.
