Ok, I will correct it right now. thank you.

Yes, I think so, but please, see drm_connector_helper_funcs structure of
drm_crtc_helper.h. get_modes callback has int type as return.

Oh, you are right, I will fix up it. thank you.

It seems that it doesn't need 'ret' but it needs to check 'ret' because of
drm_gem_handle_delete().

Yes, right. it just prints out error message because drm_gem_handle_delete
function which is mainline function doesn't leave any error message. anyway
using 'ret' is not clear. so I will remove 'ret' and check
drm_gem_handle_delete function directly instead to print out error message.

Thank you for your comments. it's been very useful. please give me your
comments and advices anytime then I will be pleased.
