[Why] The main reason common modes are added is for compatibility with clone mode when a laptop is connected to a projector or external monitor. Since commit978fa2f6d0("drm/amd/display: Use scaling for non-native resolutions on eDP") when non-native modes are picked for eDP the GPU scalar will be used. This is because it is inconsistent whether eDP panels have the capability to actually drive non-native resolutions. With panels connected to other connectors this limitation generally doesn't exist as we the EDID will advertise support for a number of resolutions and monitors will use built in scaling hardware. Comparing DC and non-DC code paths the non-DC code path only adds common modes for LVDS and eDP whereas the DC codepath does it for all connector types. In the past there was an experiment done to disable common mode adding for eDP and LVDS from commit6d396e7ac1("drm/amd/display: Disable common modes for LVDS") and commit7948afb46a("drm/amd/display: Disable common modes for eDP") but this was reverted in commita8b79b0918("drm/amd: Re-enable common modes for eDP and LVDS") because it caused problems with Xorg. [How] Only add common modes for eDP and LVDS for DC, matching the behavior of non-DC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
