Indeed, I forgot about that one, sorry :/

I think I'd still prefer to have the check for refresh + named mode
outside of the function, since I see them as an "integration" issue, not
a parsing one.

It's not the named mode parsing that fails, but the fact that we both
have a valid refresh and a valid named mode.

Yeah, it's something I went back and forth to between the dev, and it's
an artifact.

I'll drop that patch, take your version and move the refresh check to
drm_mode_parse_command_line_for_connector if that's alright for you?
