Either they propagate the return value in their struct drm_connector_helper_funcs .get_modes() hook (which is also not supposed to return negative codes), or add it to other counts leading to bogus values. On the other hand, many of the struct drm_panel_funcs .get_modes() hooks do return negative error codes, so handle them gracefully instead of propagating further. Return 0 for no modes, whatever the reason.
