As

$ git log --oneline drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/dispnv04/tvnv17.c
874ee2d67fc9 drm/nouveau: Remove unnecessary include statements for
drm_crtc_helper.h
80ed86d4b6d7 drm/connector: Rename drm_mode_create_tv_properties
1fd4a5a36f9f drm/connector: Rename legacy TV property
09838c4efe9a drm/nouveau/kms: Search for encoders' connectors properly
2574c809d7c0 drm/nouveau/kms/nv04-nv4x: Use match_string() helper to
simplify the code
...

shows, a better prefix should be
drm/nouveau:
and there should not be a dot at the end.

e.g.
drm/nouveau: Avoid NPE in nv17_tv_get_XX_modes()

I would suggest to add a little bit more details:

drm_mode_duplicate() may return NULL in case of error, e.g. if memory
allocation fails. It leads to NULL pointer dereference in
nv17_tv_get_ld_modes() and nv17_tv_get_hd_modes(), since they do not
check if drm_mode_duplicate() succeeds.

Otherwise, looks good.
