The above code-snippet is only called in the panel has specified display
timings using display_timings - it is not called when display_mode is
used.
So override_mode is only assigned in some cases and not all cases.
This needs to be fixed so we do not reference override_mode unless
it is set.

A simple  bool has_override = panel->override_mode.type != 0;
would do the trick here.
Then there is no hidden conversion from int to a bool.

But as override_mode can be NULL something more needs to be done.
