Which is wrong to do, since now if you have e.g. a mode list
with:

"dblntsc",
"dblntsc-ff"

in there and the cmdline contains "dblntsc-ff" then you
will already stop with a (wrong!) match at "dblntsc".

AFAICT, this is actually what needs to be done to fix this, while keeping
the ret == mode_end check.

Regards,

Hans
