Yes, that was my worry. In general I don't think connector->modes should
ever be used for mode validation or state computation. Eg. if fbdev
handled the previus hotplug connector->modes will have been filtered
based on the size of the fb_helper framebuffer, and then a new master
might just blindly come in and blindly set a new mode without doing a
full connector probe.

We'll need to know if the mode is one of the "4:2:0 only" modes so that
we'll automagically pick 4:2:0 whenever the user asks for this mode.
And we'll need to know whether the mode is one of the "4:2:0 too" modes
when the user asks for 4:2:0 for explicitly. The latter case of course
needs a new property for that purpose.
