Code Review
This pull request correctly addresses an issue with tie_word_embeddings for multimodal models in Transformers v5 by propagating the setting from the main model config to the text-specific config. I've added one high-severity comment to improve the robustness of the implementation and prevent a potential AttributeError for certain multimodal models.

In Transformers v5,
tie_word_embeddingsbelongs to the config of the class that can see both layers to be tied. For example:Therefore,
tie_word_embeddingsis defined inSomeVLModelForMultimodalLM's config and is not present inSomeVLModel's config. In vLLM, thelm_headbelongs to thelanguage_model, so we must ensure thattie_word_embeddingsis set in thelanguage_model's config.
