SubjectRe: [PATCH v6 16/23] drm/probe-helper: Provide a TV get_modes helper
Hi Noralf,

I'll leave aside your comments on the code, since we'll use your implementation.

I don't think we can end up with an invalid value here if it's been
specified.

We parse the command line through drm_mode_parse_tv_mode() (introduced
in patch 13 "drm/modes: Introduce the tv_mode property as a command-line
option") that will pick the tv mode part of the command line, and call
drm_get_tv_mode_from_name() using it.

drm_get_tv_mode_from_name() will return a EINVAL if it's not a value we
expect, and mode->tv_mode is only set on success. And AFAIK, there's no
other path that will set tv_mode.
