Did this patch get lost somewhere? I do not see it picked up. It is
needed to avoid a new WIP warning from clang for catching these CFI
failures:

drivers/gpu/drm/xlnx/zynqmp_dp.c:1396:16: 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     = zynqmp_dp_connector_mode_valid,
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Cheers,
Nathan
