Nit: This does work, since *status is guaranteed to be other than MODE_OK
(either MODE_CLOCK_HIGH set before the loop, or the error return from
intel_mode_valid_max_plane_size() in the previous iteration). However
for symmetry with the SST code, this could set *status = MODE_CLOCK_HIGH
explicitly before the continue.
