Can someone pick this up? It resolves a new work-in-progress clang
warning that we would like to turn on for the kernel:

  drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-tve.c:320:16: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'enum drm_mode_status (*)(struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
          .mode_valid = imx_tve_connector_mode_valid,
                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
