This won't work when 11g is administratively disabled. We can surely add another flags; but I'm not sure if it is really desirable to require drivers to be aware of this when it is easily determinable by the stack. > It seems like hw_modes is more useful for saying > what modes shouldn't be used than saying what modes are supported by the > hardware and should be used. This is exactly the purpose of hw_modes. This also means you don't need any validation.
