I've looked for code that uses these names, couldn't find any. How is 
this being used in practice? For example, if I say "PAL" on the command 
line, is there DRM code that fills in the PAL mode parameters?

And another question I have is whether this whitelist belongs into the 
driver at all. Standard modes exist independent from drivers or 
hardware. Shouldn't there simply be a global list of all possible mode 
names? Drivers would filter out the unsupported modes anyway.

Best regards
Thomas
