I think you're confusing the two different (but related) issues
addressed by this series. One is when you're using the generic
"edp-panel" compatible string. In that case the mode comes from the
EDID and only the EDID since there's no hardcoded mode. We need a mode
override there since some EDIDs shipped with a bad mode. That's the
subject of ${SUBJECT} patch.

The second issue is what to do with a hardcoded mode. That's the
subject of the next patch in the series (patch #5). Previously we
merged the hardcoded and EDID modes. Now (in the next patch) we use
only the hardcoded mode. There's no need for a fixup because the mode
is hardcoded in the kernel.

As of the newest version of the patch, it's no longer following
panel-simple in response to your feedback on previous versions.

I think the commit log is OK. I suspect the confusion is only because
you've reviewed previous versions of the series. Please shout if
things still look confusing.

That's fair. I didn't think it was a huge deal, but I agree that it's
slightly cleaner.
