I assume that you mean modetest from
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/tree/master/tests/modetest ?
Here's the modeset connector information:

id   encoder status      name    size (mm)  modes   encoders
32   31      connected   DSI-1   62x110     1       31
  modes:
        index name refresh (Hz) hdisp hss hse htot vdisp vss vse vtot)
  #0 1080x1920 71.71 1080 1082 1084 1086 1920 1922 1924 1926 150000
  flags: ; type: preferred, driver

And the page flip results...

$ modetest -v -s 32:1080x1920
trying to open device 'msm'...done
setting mode 1080x1920-71.71Hz@XR24 on connectors 32, crtc 50
failed to set gamma: Function not implemented
freq: 13.50Hz
freq: 13.51Hz
freq: 13.51Hz

It's the same results with and without Ville's patch.

Here's the beginning of the glmark2 results with the x11-gl flavor:
