I think both paths use .fill_modes, not get_modes. And fill_modes
explicitly calls .detect / .detect_ctx. It would be nice if somebody can
verify the change on the acual hw. But as I wrote, i915 driver does
exactly the same: the EDID is read / updated in .detect_ctx(), while
.get_modes() only performs drm_edid_connector_add_modes().
Okay, there is one significant difference which we should probably patch
out: the .force() is also implemented to update EDID in the forced case.
I should probably do the same for the drivers being handled in this
patchset.
