> * The named mode parsing code is now creating a proper display mode for
> the given named mode, and the TV standard will thus be part of the
> connector state;
>
> * Two drivers were converted and tested for now (vc4 and sun4i), with

I don't know if it's related to this patchset or not, but I do get this:
