Actually I think it's much better now, we compute the crtc info only at
select places now
- encoder->mode_fixup (lvds only atm), this is required to set the new
  CRTC_TIMING_SET flag. In my grepping for the original cleanup patch I've
  failed to notice this, hence the regression.
- crtc->mode_fixup, but only when timings are not yet set (with this
  patch).
- some fixed modes we use for load detect and the fixed TV modes, I think
  these won't go through the above mode_fixup stuff, so I've left them
  out.

To contrast with the state before these two patches:
- No longer splattered all over (some of it was deep down in the encoder
  code, e.g. sdvo).
- No more stupid confusion about interlaced timings.

So imho things are better, but suggestions for further improvements always
highly welcome.

Cheers, Daniel
