/*
* This is not really correct. Appendix B of the EDID 1.4 spec defines
* the right thing to do here. If the timing given here matches a mode
* defined in the VESA DMT standard, we _must_ use that. If the device
* supports CVT modes, then we should generate a CVT timing. If both
* of the above fail, use GTF.
*
* There are some wrinkles here. EDID 1.1 and 1.0 sinks can't really
* "support" GTF, since it wasn't a standard yet; so if they ask for a
* timing in this section that isn't defined in DMT, returning a GTF mode
* may not actually be valid. EDID 1.3 sinks often report support for
* some CVT modes, but they are not required to support CVT timings for
* modes in the standard timing descriptor, so we should _not_ treat them
* as CVT-compliant (unless specified in an extension block I suppose).
*
* EDID 1.4 requires that all sink devices support both GTF and CVT timings
* for modes in this section, but does say that CVT is preferred.
