Why not just call it "tv mode" or even better "TV Mode". The state
member can be called tv_mode, but the mode_config member will need a
temporary name until the "mode" property is removed. tv_tv_mode or maybe
connector_tv_mode?

But IMO, if there are no users of this property, adding it should have a
drm maintainers ack.
