Subject[RFC PATCH] drm/edid: drm_add_modes_noedid() should set lowest resolution as preferred
Date
If we're unable to read the EDID for a display because it's corrupt /
bogus / invalid then we'll add a set of standard modes for the
display. When userspace looks at these modes it doesn't really have a
good concept for which mode to pick and it'll likely pick the highest
resolution one by default. That's probably not ideal because the modes
were purely guesses on the part of the Linux kernel.

Let's instead set 640x480 as the "preferred" mode when we have no EDID.
