Not sure we want this since this seems to override the cmdline options to
force a specific edid. Also not sure whether we shouldn't just add this as
the preferred mode when probing (before the preferred mode the vbt/edid
provides ofc).

What exactly is the mismatch here? It could be DRRS or something fancy,
too.

Not sure what to do here really.
