You can, but the code is still _wrong_.  Wrong wrong wrong.  Your
hardware has real constraints; you have finite memory bandwidth, and
finite DAC speed, and finite CRTC addressibility.  If I try this
modeline on your hardware:

atropine:~% gtf 1920 1440 120

  # 1920x1440 @ 120.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 185.16 kHz; pclk: 497.71 MHz
  Modeline "1920x1440_120.00"  497.71  1920 2088 2304 2688  1440 1441 1444 1543  -HSync +Vsync

it will not work.  The code as you've now changed it will happily accept
this mode.

And your commit message is wrong too.  The other drivers you mention
check for failure conditions before returning MODE_OK.  You're checking
for _success_ conditions and then returning MODE_OK all the time.
Textually these look very similar; semantically they're completely
different.

Think.  Please.
