Bug description:
[Impact]
On systems equipped with reduced blanking panel, mirror mode can result to no
image on external monitor.
The reason is due to current fallback modes don't have pixelclock for reduced
blanking, so inadequate refresh rate is used to mode set, and result with
atomic commit failure.
[Fix]
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3449
Add reduced blanking (RB) to fallback modes, so mutter can use RB mode to
meet pixelclock requirement in order to pick the right refresh rate.
[Test]
Connect an external monitor to affected system. Use the monitor hotkey to
switch to mirror mode or use GNOME control center to choose mirror mode. With
the patch included, the issue is no longer observed.
[Where problems could occur]
The modelines of reduced blanking have reversed Hsync and Vsync flags, so if
the driver doesn't handle those flags correctly, the atomic modeset/commit may
fail.
I haven't observe any issue on Intel/AMD/Nvidia GPU so far.
