No.

This hunk is pointless in my view.

The existing -i, -T, -o, -d options take an argument as well.
Why don't they have such a check as you added?
The answer is because getopt() checks it.
I applied your patch, and ran modpost directly
with -v at the end of the command line.
masahiro@oscar:~/workspace/linux$ ./scripts/mod/modpost -v
./scripts/mod/modpost: option requires an argument -- 'v'
I see the error message from getopt() instead of
your hand-made error check.
