I'm not sure what is confusing, but I can add a comment if needed.

Here, it's used to make sure we don't have a named mode starting with
either e, d, or D.
If I understood str_has_prefix() right, str_has_prefix("DUMB-MODE", "D")
== strlen("DUMB-MODE") would return true, while it's actually what we
want to avoid.
It's also used indeed in drm_get_tv_mode_from_name(), where we try to
match a list of names with one passed as argument.
With drm_get_tv_mode_from_name("NSTC", strlen("NTSC")), we would end up
calling str_has_prefix("NTSC-J", "NTSC") == strlen("NTSC-J") which would
work. However, we end up calling prefix not a prefix, but an entire
string we want to match against, which is very confusing to me too.
