[PATCH] drm/panel: do not return negative error codes from drm_panel_get_modes()

From: Jani Nikula
Date: Fri Mar 08 2024 - 11:03:40 EST


None of the callers of drm_panel_get_modes() expect it to return
negative error codes. Either they propagate the return value in their
struct drm_connector_helper_funcs .get_modes() hook (which is also not
supposed to return negative codes), or add it to other counts leading to
bogus values.

On the other hand, many of the struct drm_panel_funcs .get_modes() hooks
do return negative error codes, so handle them gracefully instead of
propagating further.

Return 0 for no modes, whatever the reason.
