The third parameter of module_param is supposed to be an octal value.
The missing leading "0" causes the following:
$ ls -l /sys/module/carminefb/parameters/
total 0
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:55 fb_displays
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:55 fb_mode
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:55 fb_mode_str
After fixing the perm parameter, we get the expected:
$ ls -l /sys/module/carminefb/parameters/
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:56 fb_displays
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:56 fb_mode
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 8 08:56 fb_mode_str
