Agreed with this cleanup - naming is confusing as is.

It should be in this list, but that brings up another point that needs 
to be addressed - if the mode already exists in the modelist then we 
should skip adding a duplicate mode.

I don't think we should even be bothering trying to identify whether the 
mode was a FS mode or not since the front porch modeset skip 
optimization can apply generically (at least as an experimental opt-in 
feature for now).
