Don't add a mode for the kernel's command-line parameters from
within the DRM client code. Doing so can result in an unusable
display. If there's no compatible command-line mode, the client
will use one of the connector's preferred modes.

All mode creation and validation has to be performed by the
connector. When clients run, the connector's fill_modes callback
has already processes the kernel parameters and validates each
mode before adding it. The connector's mode list does not contain
invalid modes.
