I'm chasing down a change in behaviour between 6.1 and 6.6, and this
patch seems to be at least part of the cause.

Since [1] we've had the emulated framebuffer on Pi being 16bpp to save
memory. All good.

It used to be possible to use "video=HDMI-A-1:-32" on the kernel
command line to set it back to 32bpp.

After this patch that is no longer possible. "mode_end = bpp_off", and
"bpp_off = bpp_ptr - name", so with bpp_ptr = name we get mode_end
being 0. That fails this conditional.
drm_mode_parse_cmdline_named_mode already aborts early but with no
error if name_end / mode_end is 0, so this "if" clause seems
redundant, and is a change in behaviour.

We do then get a second parsing failure due to the check if (bpp_ptr
|| refresh_ptr) at [2].
Prior to this patch my video= line would get mode->specified set via
"if (ret == mode_end)" removed above, as ret = mode_end = 0. We
therefore didn't evaluate the conditional that now fails.

So I guess my question is whether my command line is valid or not, and
therefore is this a regression?
If considered invalid, then presumably there is no way to update the
bpp without also having to specify the resolution. That is rather
annoying as almost everything else can be updated without having to
set the resolution, so this one property would be the odd one out.

Thanks, and Happy New Year.
