Please don't reply with patches in-reply-to other people's patches.

This is now fixed by the revert that I just pushed.

I don't think this patch fixes that one; see below.

fallthrough; will do the trick.

The failing mode in bug [1] has 0x0a for flags, so it ends up here, and
for that display this patch is a no-op.

As I explained in [2], all the problematic cases have invalid data, but
the ones fixed by the revert need to ignore the analog sync *flags* and
accept the mode, and the display in [1] needs to have the whole *mode*
rejected.

Another angle is that for analog displays, EDID offset 0x14 has info
about the supported sync modes. If we're separating digital/analog sync
handling, we should probably filter the analog sync with the info from
0x14.
