The simple KMS helpers are deprecated because they only add an
intermediate layer between drivers and atomic modesetting.
Open-code drm_simple_encoder_init() by calling drm_encoder_init()
directly and providing driver-local drm_encoder_funcs.
Also check the return value from drm_encoder_init() to avoid silent
failures.

The simple KMS helpers are deprecated because they only add an
intermediate layer between drivers and atomic modesetting.
Open-code drm_simple_encoder_init() by calling drm_encoder_init()
directly and providing driver-local drm_encoder_funcs.

intermediate layer between drivers and atomic modesetting.
Open-code drm_simple_encoder_init() by calling drm_encoder_init()
directly and providing driver-local drm_encoder_funcs.
Also check the return value from drm_encoder_init() to avoid silent
failures.

The simple KMS helpers are deprecated because they only add an
intermediate layer between drivers and atomic modesetting.
Open-code drm_simple_encoder_init() by calling drm_encoder_init()
directly and providing driver-local drm_encoder_funcs.

The simple KMS helpers are deprecated because they only add an
intermediate layer between drivers and atomic modesetting.
All driver users of drm_simple_encoder_init() have been converted to
drm_encoder_init(). Drop the helper and open-code its remaining internal
use in drm_simple_display_pipe_init() to prevent new users.

-The helper drm_simple_encoder_init() was supposed to simplify encoder
-initialization. Instead it only added an intermediate layer between atomic
-modesetting and the DRM driver.
-
-The task here is to remove drm_simple_encoder_init(). Search for a driver
-that calls drm_simple_encoder_init() and inline the helper. The driver will
-also need its own instance of drm_encoder_funcs.
