To an extent, I agree with you.  I did things this way in an attempt
to change the current behavior as little as possible.  Personally,
I'd rather see us allow any supported mode to be set.

I did.  The problem is that I needed a comparison without vscan being
involved (see drm_mode_equal_no_clocks_no_stereo(), where the actual
comparison happens.)  This seemed like the least disruptive way to do
that comparison.

I wasn't aware there can be more than one preferred mode.  I thought
the whole idea was to have a way of designating one mode of many
that would provide (at least in the opinion of the panel's makers)
the mode that will provide the best user experience.  FWIW, on the
panels I've tested with I haven't seen more than two modes supported
natively in any case.  If we follow your earlier suggestion about
just letting mode sets happen on all supported modes then all of this
stuff goes away.
