Get the display mode settings via mode_set bridge function
instead of explicitly de-reference.

What's wrong with dereferencing the mode?

Nothing wrong with dereferencing, however we have built-in API to that job.

That's not an API though?

May be we can call it bridge or encoding function, I usually call
these ops are API's.

It's perfectly valid to dereference the pointer in atomic_enable, and
that patch would consume memory for no particular reason.

Again, I'm not pointing any mistake in dereference and certainly not
understand about what memory consumption issue here. I'm doing it here
since I'm doing it via mode_set in other drivers. No problem for me
either way.

Thanks,
Jagan.
