I think we need some nuance here for this to actually be usable. If the
information is not provided by the driver (yes, hardware is limiting
sometimes), it would make sense to copy over the information that
userspace provided. Setting NONE is just the worst approximation in my
opinion.

About MFC, it will be worth trying to read the DISPLAY_STATUS after the
headers has been processed. It's not clearly stated in the spec if this
will be set or not.
