Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 24/43] fbdev: Distinguish between interlaced and
 progressive modes

From: Fredrik Noring <noring@...rew.org>

[ Upstream commit 1ba0a59cea41ea05fda92daaf2a2958a2246b9cf ]

I discovered the problem when developing a frame buffer driver for the
PlayStation 2 (not yet merged), using the following video modes for the
PlayStation 3 in drivers/video/fbdev/ps3fb.c:

    }, {
        /* 1080if */
        "1080if", 50, 1920, 1080, 13468, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5,
        FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_INTERLACED
    }, {
        /* 1080pf */
        "1080pf", 50, 1920, 1080, 6734, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5,
        FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED
    },

In ps3fb_probe, the mode_option module parameter is used with fb_find_mode
but it can only select the interlaced variant of 1920x1080 since the loop
matching the modes does not take the difference between interlaced and
progressive modes into account.

In short, without the patch, progressive 1920x1080 cannot be chosen as a
mode_option parameter since fb_find_mode (falsely) thinks interlace is a
perfect match.
