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/msm/disp/mdp4/mdp4_lvds_connector.c:89:16: 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 = mdp4_lvds_connector_mode_valid,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Cheers,
Nathan

It will be picked into 6.1-rc and then propagate through the stable
kernel updates.

Anyway:

Yes, it was already merged to the -fixes tree and a PR with it was sent
out for 6.1-rc
