With the patch title fixed to start with "drm/amd/display:", this is:
Reviewed-by: Nicholas Kazlauskas <nicholas.kazlauskas@xxxxxxx>
So the sorting normally seems to happen at the end of
drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes, or after both get_modes and
fill_modes have been called.
So sorting the list in advance ahead of DRM shouldn't hurt here.
This should help the order at least match the order we query for the
preferred mode later on when creating the sink for the stream, but it
still is just masking the overall problem of not checking the right mode
for deciding when to scale or not.
We'll probably need to either add a private flag to the common modes to
indicate that they should be scaled or using check the scaling against
what we thought was the native mode, ie. the one from the encoder.
