Hello! I have not read deeply whole implementation, just spotted
suspicious options. See below.

According to exFAT specification, section 7.7.3 FileName Field there is
no 8.3 shortname support with DOS/OEM codepage.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/exfat-specification#773-filename-field

Plus it looks like that this member codepage is only set and never
accessed in whole driver.

So it can be clean it up and removed?

There are lot of utf8 mount options. Are they really needed?

Would not it be better to use just one "iocharset" mount option like
other Unicode based filesystem have it (e.g. vfat, jfs, iso9660, udf or
ntfs)?
