fbdev: Distinguish between interlaced and progressive modes

I discovered the problem when developing a frame buffer driver for the
PlayStation 2 (not yet merged), using the following video modes for the
PlayStation 3 in drivers/video/fbdev/ps3fb.c:

}, {
/* 1080if */
"1080if", 50, 1920, 1080, 13468, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5,
FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_INTERLACED
}, {
/* 1080pf */
"1080pf", 50, 1920, 1080, 6734, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5,
FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED
},

In ps3fb_probe, the mode_option module parameter is used with fb_find_mode
but it can only select the interlaced variant of 1920x1080 since the loop
matching the modes does not take the difference between interlaced and
progressive modes into account.

In short, without the patch, progressive 1920x1080 cannot be chosen as a
mode_option parameter since fb_find_mode (falsely) thinks interlace is a
perfect match.

  *      If 'M' is present after yres (and before refresh/bpp if present),

- *      of xres rounded down to 8 pixels, and 1.8% of yres. The char
- *      'i' and 'm' must be after 'M' and 'R'. Example:
+ *      reduced blanking (for flatpanels).  If 'i' or 'p' are present, compute
+ *      interlaced or progressive mode.  If 'm' is present, add margins equal

  *      1024x768MR-8@60m - Reduced blank with margins at 60Hz.
