There is a stray tab here.  You didn't run checkpatch.pl.

Linus likes this comment style, but I would prefer normal comments,
please.

I have reviewed the code, and I still find the single loop more
readable.

I would like a change that did:

		if ((XGIfb_vrate[i].xres != xres) ||
		    (XGIfb_vrate[i].yres != yres)) {
			i++;
			continue;
		}

so we could pull everything in one tab.

                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This bug is there in the original code, and not something that you
introduced but the second part of the if condition is to ensure that
we didn't do an array underflow in the first part of the if statement.

These days that can trigger a kasan warning, I believe.

The conditions should be swapped around to avoid the read before the
start of the array altogether.  And, in fact, it should be written like
this to make it easier for static analysis tools:

			} else if (i != 0 &&
				   rate - XGIfb_vrate[i - 1].refresh <= 2) {
