Referencing those previous discussions:
- https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/0255f7c6-0484-6456-350d-cf24f3fee5d6@xxxxxxxxxxx/

Unconditionally setting the 480i mode as DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED causes Xorg
(at least on current Raspberry Pi OS) to display garbage when
video=Composite1:PAL is specified on the command line, so I'm afraid this won't
do.

As I see it, there are three viable solutions for this issue:

a) Somehow query the video= command line option from this function, and set
   DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED appropriately. This would break the abstraction
   provided by global DRM code, but should work fine.

b) Modify drm_helper_probe_add_cmdline_mode() so that it sets
   DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED in addition to DRM_MODE_TYPE_USERDEF. This seems
   pretty robust, but affects the entire DRM subsystem, which may break
   userspace in different ways.

   - Maybe this could be mitigated by adding some additional conditions, e.g.
     setting the PREFERRED flag only if no modes are already flagged as such
     and/or only if the cmdline mode is a named one (~= analog TV mode)

c) Forcing userspace (Xorg / Raspberry Pi OS) to get fixed and honor the USERDEF
   flag.

Either way, hardcoding 480i as PREFERRED does not seem right.

Note: this also applies to the sun4i version (patch 22/22).

If this (!tv_mode) condition is somehow triggered, the power management goes
somewhat crazy. vc4_vec_encoder_enable() cannot return an error, so when
vc4_vec_encoder_disable() is eventually called after a failed enable, it hangs
in pm_runtime_put() for quite a bit.

At least I think that's what's happening. Anyway, to solve this, I'd propose
this thing below:
