I can obviously see that from the patch. But this does not explain at
all *why* we need another hook to begin with, and why it neeeds to be
called from ->fill_modes that is set to
drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes().

This is in the middle of a sequence figuring out the modes. First
->get_modes, then fallback to other mechanisms. Certainly we don't want
to do something else in the middle.
