Currently the drm_mode_prune_invalid() function will
prune all the modes if it finds that the mode-status
is not MODE_OK. But if it ends up pruning all modes
then there are no modes left for that connector which will
eventually result into a black screen as userspace sees no
modes from the kernel. This can happen pretty quickly in case of
eDP panel that has only mode that might get pruned.
This patch fixes this problem by checking if the mode being pruned
is the last mode on that connector and if so doesnt prune it.

I think you want to stop pruning when you've gotten to a single mode on
the list, not at the last mode in the list (which may well need to be
pruned).

This is entirely untested, but perhaps

+		    !(list_is_singular(mode_list))) {
        
is what you want?

Thanks Keith. Yes thats correct, I got confused by the macro name.
But its correct I should use the list_is_singular instead.
