I took a glance at the surrounding piece of code.
The dp_connector_get_modes() calls dp_display_get_modes() in attempt to 
fill the dp_mode argument. However the dp_display_get_modes() function 
just calls dp_panel_get_modes(), which does not touch dp_mode argument 
since the commit ab205927592b ("drm/msm/dp: remove mode hard-coding in 
case of DP CTS") dating September 2020. I think we can drop this piece 
of code completely.
