Ah, what I meant was a reduced testcase to replay just the special
modesetting sequence to reproduce the bug. Similar to what Imre recently
has done with the kms_setmode.c testcase. If we add the entire script we
essentially depend upon fbdev and our own ddx to not change behaviour ...

Since it's essentially a special testcase script I think tests/ is good
enough. Something like the below diff:
