[PATCH v2] drm: xlnx: Fix return type of zynqmp_dp_bridge_mode_valid

From: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck at google.com>

The mode_valid field in drm_bridge_helper_funcs is expected to be of
type
enum drm_mode_status (* mode_valid) (struct drm_bridge *bridge,
                                     struct drm_display_mode *mode);

The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition. A new
warning in clang will catch this at compile time:

  drivers/gpu/drm/xlnx/zynqmp_dp.c:1573:16: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'enum drm_mode_status (*)(struct drm_bridge *, const struct drm_display_info *, const struct drm_display_mode *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct drm_bridge *, const struct drm_display_info *, const struct drm_display_mode *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
          .mode_valid = zynqmp_dp_bridge_mode_valid,
                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1 error generated.

The return type of zynqmp_dp_bridge_mode_valid should be changed from
int to enum drm_mode_status.

Please consider picking this up so that it makes 6.2.

v2:
  - Take over for Nathan, as he is busy with other matters.
  - Rebase on drm-misc-next and resolve conflicts.
  - Add a note about new clang warning that will catch this issue at
    compile time.
