[1/5] drm/modes: parse_cmdline: Handle empty mode name part

If no mode name part was specified, mode_end is zero, and the "ret ==
mode_end" check does the wrong thing.

Fix this by checking for a non-zero return value instead.
While at it, skip all named mode handling when mode_end is zero, as it
is futile.

Which is wrong to do, since now if you have e.g. a mode list
with:

"dblntsc",
"dblntsc-ff"

in there and the cmdline contains "dblntsc-ff" then you
will already stop with a (wrong!) match at "dblntsc".

AFAICT, this is actually what needs to be done to fix this, while keeping
the ret == mode_end check.

Regards,

Hans

It indeed behaves that way, and did so before, as str_has_prefix()
checks for a matching prefix, and thus may never get to the full
match.  However, can we change that to an exact match, without
introducing regressions?
This can be avoided by reverse-sorting the modelist (or iterating
backwards through a sorted modelist), though.

"ret == mode_end" or "ret" doesn't matter (except for the special
case of mode_end is zero), as str_has_prefix() returns either zero or
the length of the prefix.  Hence it never returns a non-zero value
smaller than the length of the prefix.

Ignore that.  I finally saw what's really happening.
And I do agree with your comment.
