Subject: drm: make drm_atomic_set_mode_prop_for_crtc() more reliable

From: Tomi Valkeinen <[email protected]>

commit 6709887c448d1cff51b52d09763c7b834ea5f0be upstream.

drm_atomic_set_mode_prop_for_crtc() does not clear the state->mode, so old data may be left there when a new mode is set, possibly causing odd issues.

This patch improves the situation by always clearing the state->mode first.
