...instances of struct drm_encoder_funcs that were not declared const were not modified somewhere to add more function pointers. Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart at ideasonboard.com> for all the patches. However, I'd like to note that drm_simple_encoder_init() is a bit of a misnommer here. Several of the encoders in those drivers to implement additional functionality.

A call to drm_simple_encoder_init() initializes an encoder without further functionality. It only provides the destroy callback to cleanup the encoder's state. Only few drivers implement more sophisticated encoders than that. Most drivers implement such a simple encoder and can use drm_simple_encoder_init() instead. The patchset converts drivers where the encoder's instance is embedded in
