I'm thinking we could just do
if (modes)
	modes += add_alternate_cea_modes(...);
at the end of add_cea_modes().

Or perhaps
if (found)
	modes += add_alternate_cea_modes(...);
if we think that adding the alternate modes would be apporpriate
even when add_cea_modes() didn't add anything. Not sure.

Yes, that would still introduce a sligth change in behaviour
in case we have a CEA ext block/DisplayID CTA block without
any of the video/hdmi/y420vdb blocks, but that edge case
doesn't feel like a deal-breaker to me.
