Can you explain more about your motivation here? At least for
panel-edp and panel-simple it seems like it would be better to leave
the logic alone and manually add DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED to the right
mode for the rare panel that actually has more than one mode listed.
That feels more explicit to me.
