The EDID modes should be earlier in the list, and so higher priority
than the cmdline mode. The only instance I see that breaking down is if
the mode gets created by drm_pick_cmdline_mode, i.e.

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c

Can you please print the matching modes and trace where the userdef mode
gets added before the EDID modes?
