If you are really nitpicky about the "-", then it should also be 
"iocharset=utf-8" (and whereever else). Or what's the real purpose of 
adding the dashes in only half of the places, then?

The patch only changes documentation/comments.  Changing other things
would break compatibility, and that's usually not a good idea for
cosmetic changes.

Also what's "Unicode 16" as used in several places in the kernel. Surely this 
should be changed to UTF-16, which is the _encoding_ for the unicode 
character space.

I don't want to be shot by everyone who has "iocharset=utf8" in
/etc/fstab.

This warning better reads in such a way:

FAT: this is not the recommended filesystem for use with UTF-8 filenames.

Reason: the utf8 IO charset is the only IO charset that displays 
filenames properly in UTF-8 locales. So the choice is really between 
case-sensitive filenames (iocharset=utf8) and completely unreadable 
filenames (everything else).

It might also be UCS-2 and not UTF-16 in some places. They do differ.

And UTF-8 locale seems to be the only really sane today. I'd kill the
whole warning.

glibc was the starter, AFAIR. So both utf8 and UTF-8 are generally accepted, but utf-8 is not that
wide spread.

.. on unix. But FAT is a sort of lingua franca of filesystems, and is
the only one understandable by every (embedded) OS. So you'd better stay
compatible with everyone else.

You stay compatible. And you can even read files with national
characters in names.
