Subject: [PATCH 4.4 162/193] drm/gma500: remove helper function

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@...il.com>

commit db9b60400f9253c25ae639797df2d0ff7a35d9d8 upstream.

We were getting build warning about:
drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/mdfld_dsi_output.c:407:2: warning: initialization
	from incompatible pointer type

The callback to dpms was pointing to a helper function which had a
return type of void, whereas the callback should point to a function
which has a return type of int.
On closer look it turned out that we do not need the helper function
since if we call drm_helper_connector_dpms() directly, the first check
that drm_helper_connector_dpms() does is: if (mode == connector->dpms)
