The commit message should explain *why* the change is being done.

The return type of this function is enum drm_mode_status, which
indicates the reason for rejecting the mode. It's not a negative error
code.

Near the top of the function we have "target_clock = mode->clock;"
making the above identical to the check we already have below. Apart
from the incorrect return code.

What are you trying to do?

BR,
Jani.
