No worries :-) As my patch should go on top of yours, could you please take it 
in your tree ?

Not immediately. When I tried to implement .mode_fixup() I wasn't sure whether 
drivers were allowed to modify the mode argument. After researching it I came 
up to the conclusion that they should not, hence the patch. It would make 
sense to constify other structures and function arguments as well though.
