Nit: You can use the dev variable here and below.

You leak the ntsc mode when returning (possibly).

Maybe check for count being zero here?

You leak both modes when returning here. Maybe move this up before
allocation to simplify error handling.

I realised that we don't verify tv_mode coming from the command line,
not here and not in the reset helper. Should we do that? A driver should
be programmed defensively to handle an illegal/unsupported value, but it
doesn't feel right to allow an illegal enum value coming through the
core/helpers.

I know this is not expensive, but you're looping over the property
values 7 times. An alternative solution is to rebuild the supported bitmask:

int drm_connector_helper_tv_get_modes(struct drm_connector *connector)
{
...
unsigned int ntsc_modes = BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_NTSC) |
BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_NTSC_443) |
BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_NTSC_J) |
BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_PAL_M);
unsigned int pal_modes = BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_PAL) |
BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_PAL_N) |
BIT(DRM_MODE_TV_MODE_SECAM);
unsigned int supported_tv_modes = 0;

...
for (i = 0; i < property->num_values; i++)
supported_tv_modes |= BIT(property->values[i]);

if (supported_tv_modes & ntsc_modes)
...
if (supported_tv_modes & pal_modes)
...

if (BIT(default_mode) & ntsc_modes)
first_mode_idx = 0;
else
first_mode_idx = 1;


Up to you if you want to do this.

Hi Noralf,

I'll leave aside your comments on the code, since we'll use your implementation.

I don't think we can end up with an invalid value here if it's been
specified.

We parse the command line through drm_mode_parse_tv_mode() (introduced
in patch 13 "drm/modes: Introduce the tv_mode property as a command-line
option") that will pick the tv mode part of the command line, and call
drm_get_tv_mode_from_name() using it.

drm_get_tv_mode_from_name() will return a EINVAL if it's not a value we
expect, and mode->tv_mode is only set on success. And AFAIK, there's no
other path that will set tv_mode.

I see now that illegal was the wrong word, but if the driver only
supports ntsc, the user can still set tv_mode=PAL right? And that's an
unsupported value that the driver can't fulfill, so it errors out. But
then again maybe that's just how it is, we can also set a display mode
that the driver can't handle, so this is no different in that respect.
Yeah, my argument lost some of its strength here :)

I don't think we can handle this better, really. Falling back to NTSC in
that case would really be a stretch: it's a different mode, with a
different TV mode, etc.

It's an even bigger stretch than picking another mode I guess, and like
you said we're not doing that if the mode isn't supported
