commit 50b6f2c8297793f7f3315623db78dcff85158e96 upstream.

This reverts commit ca62297b2085b5b3168bd891ca24862242c635a1.

Commit ca62297b2085 ("drm/edid: Fix csync detailed mode parsing") fixed
EDID detailed mode sync parsing. Unfortunately, there are quite a few
displays out there that have bogus (zero) sync field that are broken by
the change. Zero means analog composite sync, which is not right for
digital displays, and the modes get rejected. Regardless, it used to
work, and it needs to continue to work. Revert the change.

Rejecting modes with analog composite sync was the part that fixed the
gitlab issue 8146 [1]. We'll need to get back to the drawing board with
that.
