I think we do need dbsize, and that the code which I have now:

int fb_find_mode(struct fb_var_screeninfo *var,
		 struct fb_info *info, const char *mode_option,
		 const struct fb_videomode *db, unsigned int dbsize,
		 const struct fb_videomode *default_mode,
		 unsigned int default_bpp)
{
    int i;

    /* Set up defaults */
    if (!db) {
	db = modedb;
	dbsize = ARRAY_SIZE(modedb);
    }

    if (!default_mode)
	default_mode = &db[0];

    if (!default_bpp)
	default_bpp = 8;


is appropriate?


Here's the current version of this monster patch:

From: Jordan Crouse <jordan.crouse@amd.com>

If no default mode is specified, it should be grabbed from the supplied
database, not the default one.
