Nit: You can use the dev variable here and below.

You leak the ntsc mode when returning (possibly).

Maybe check for count being zero here?

You leak both modes when returning here. Maybe move this up before
allocation to simplify error handling.

I realised that we don't verify tv_mode coming from the command line,
not here and not in the reset helper. Should we do that? A driver should
be programmed defensively to handle an illegal/unsupported value, but it
doesn't feel right to allow an illegal enum value coming through the
core/helpers.

I know this is not expensive, but you're looping over the property
values 7 times. An alternative solution is to rebuild the supported bitmask:

int drm_connector_helper_tv_get_modes(struct drm_connector *connector)
{
...
	unsigned int ntsc_modes = BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_NTSC) |
				  BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_NTSC_443) |
				  BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_NTSC_J) |
				  BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_PAL_M);
	unsigned int pal_modes = BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_PAL) |
				 BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_PAL_N) |
				 BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_SECAM);
	unsigned int supported_tv_modes = 0;

...
	for (i = 0; i < property->num_values; i++)
		supported_tv_modes |= BIT(property->values[i]);

	if (supported_tv_modes & ntsc_modes)
...
	if (supported_tv_modes & pal_modes)
...

	if (BIT(default_mode) & ntsc_modes)
		first_mode_idx = 0;
	else
		first_mode_idx = 1;


Up to you if you want to do this.
