Thanks for your patch, which looks similar to my "[PATCH v2 2/5]
drm/modes: Extract drm_mode_parse_cmdline_named_mode()"
(https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/1371554419ae63cb54c2a377db0c1016fcf200bb.1657788997.git.geert@linux-m68k.org

What's the point in returning a value, if it is never checked?
Just make this function return void?

This condition may have to be relaxed, if we want to support e.g.
"hd720p at 50", cfr. my comments on "[PATCH v1 05/35] drm/connector:
Add TV standard property".

This call needs to be conditional on mode_end being non-zero, cfr. my
patch "[PATCH v2 1/5] drm/modes: parse_cmdline: Handle empty mode name
part" (https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/302d0737539daa2053134e8f24fdf37e3d939e1e.1657788997.git.geert@linux-m68k.org).
