Thanks, will send the patch for it soon, adding you in the mail chain.

The current implementation which we have in andoroid, is hardware 
composer shows the whole mode in the list like:
- 1920x1080 at 60 16:9    /* From CEA block of EDID */
- 1920x1080 at 60 0:0        /* From detailed descriptor block of EDID */
- 1280x720 at 60 4:3          /* From CEA block of EDID */
-etc
These mode is the connector->probed_modes which we populated while 
parsing the EDID.
Now, when user selects the mode, its a complete set of resolution + 
refresh rate + aspect ratio, so user can only pick what
we are showing to it. In this case, there is no option which we cant 
support.

Do you think that there would be some other model of use case, where we 
can mix something among these?
