Indeed.  I'm not sure how many people out there actually change
DEFAULT_MODEDB_INDEX to be non zero, but can't think of a reason why the
default shouldn't just always use the first index in the database.  

At least, thats the way I thought fb_find_mode() worked before I looked into 
the internals. Still, there might be some people attached to 
DEFAULT_MODEDB_INDEX, so I've attached a new patch that should make everybody 
happy.

[PATCH] video: Get the default mode from the right database

From: Jordan Crouse <jordan.crouse at amd.com>

If no default mode is specified, it should be grabbed from the supplied
database, not the default one.
