I was hoping that someone else would step up and review these parser
patches since the parser code is rather difficult to read, for me at
least. I have studied it now, so I'll give it a try.

name_end can't be zero since the argument is checked before calling this
function.

I think this check actually belongs in
drm_mode_parse_command_line_for_connector() after options_off is set. If
theres an equal sign it should skip all mode parsing and skip down to
drm_mode_parse_cmdline_options(). Which probably means that the mode
parsing should have been moved out to separate function to avoid using a
goto.
But that's probably beyond the scope of this patchset :)

It took me a while to understand what is going on here.
If str_has_prefix() finds a match it returns strlen(prefix). Since
prefix is always of length 1, name_end has to always be 1 for the
statement to be true.

I would have written it like this:

/* The connection status extras can be set without a mode. */
if (name_end == 1) {
if (name[0] == "d" || name[0] == "D" || name[0] == "e")
return 0;
}

Shouldn't this be:

if (!mode_end)
return false;

I can't see how mode_end == 0 can produce anything valid.
Scenarios for mode_option that gives mode_end == 0:
- zero length
- starts with a comma
- starts with -bpp
- starts with @refresh

Maybe it's a separate patch with matching tests ;)

I'd really like to keep it in though. At least, we know by looking at
this small function that we're going to be safe all the time, no matter
what the caller does.

And if the caller wants to check it as well, fine, it's only a simple
comparison ran once or twice at boot, it's not like it's in a hot-path.

I've addressed your other comments, thanks!
Maxime
