Does dropping this "if (!mode_end)" check, and at least the check for
bpp_ptr in the "No mode?" block below it, seem reasonable to you?
I guess there is also the question of whether a refresh rate without a
mode is valid. That one seems less useful, and all uses of
refresh_specified appear to be after some form of checking xres and
yres.
I can put a couple of patches together to deal with this if you're
happy with the principle.
