Nitpick, I guess this is now ill-named.

Nitpick, support for multiple fixed modes still depends on drrs
support. I mean this patch is clearly forward progress, but I'm not sure
if this fully closes the referenced issue. In practical terms it might,
considering the machines with high refresh rate panels are probably
fairly new.
