Should be a good coccinelle exercise ;) But it can certainly be done
later.

Well it would mean that we would at least give information on what
one crtc though the error was. Otherwise we don't give any
information why the mode was rejected. I'm thinking some infomation is
better than none.

Well, we pass connector as the thing that drives the validation here, so
having connector is the name is appropriate I think.
