Subject: [PATCH] video: Get the default mode from the right database

fb_find_mode() is behaving in an non-intuitive way.  When I specify my
own video mode database, and no default mode, I would have expected it
to assume the first mode in my database as the default mode.  Instead, it
uses the built in database:

> if (!db) {
>     db = modedb;
>     dbsize = ARRAY_SIZE(modedb);
> }
> if (!default_mode)
>     default_mode = &modedb[DEFAULT_MODEDB_INDEX];

Personally, I think this is incorrect - if an alternate database is
specified, it should be always using that.  Patch is attached.

Regards,
Jordan
