Wow, it seems wild that we'd need to maintain compatibility with options
which only ever existed in a different codebase in a staging driver
(what's the point of staging if every interface that makes it that far has
to be maintained in perpetuity?)

Often, when things are deprecated, they are eventually removed.  Perhaps a
future removal date stated in this commit, or in Documentation/..../exfat.txt
would be good as a reminder to eventually remove this?
