Agreed. I can refactor the existing function and fix the caller to check 
for NULL.

Also there is a fix me in the caller where we are using mode->clock 
instead of mode->crtc_clock which can be fixed with the above refactor.

With the refactor if highest fixed mode is found, mode->clock can be 
used, otherwise adjusted_mode->crtc_clock can be used.
