If there's no motivation for the patch anymore, it can just wither away
in one of my old trees.

Does anyone care about pruning the autogenerated video= mode if a probed
one matches? Presumably, it is still visible to userspace and switching
to it will cause the same issue as before? Or was it always a driver
bug (failing to set the mode)?
