Hmmm, it's not clear to me why that wouldn't be the case.

If we come back to the beginning of that function, we retrieve the
cmdline_mode buffer from the connector pointer, that will probably
have been parsed a first time using drm_mode_create_from_cmdline_mode
in drm_helper_probe_add_cmdline_mode.

Now, I'm guessing that the issue is that in
drm_mode_parse_command_line_for_connector, if we have a named mode, we
just copy the mode over and set mode->specified.

And we then move over to do other checks, and that's probably what
fails and returns, but our drm_cmdline_mode will have been modified.

I'm not entirely sure how to deal with that though.

I guess we could allocate a drm_cmdline_mode structure on the stack,
fill that, and if successful copy over its content to the one in
drm_connector. That would allow us to only change the content on
success, which is what I would expect from such a function?

How does that sound?
