That really only should be a concern if you can measure the difference.
Further, with upcoming bridge support in the parallel-display and
imx-ldb drivers the encoder doesn't have direct access to the connector
anymore (get_modes is handled by the bridges' connector). I could also
think of bridges where the optimal input bus_format depends on the mode.
So I'd prefer the internal bus configuration to reside in imx_crtc_state
instead of imx_encoder.

Yes, thank you for the update. I chose the wrong link, I have tested
version 3. If you are willing to respin your series once more, feel free
to integrate all or part of my changes in the appropriate places (the
mode_set removal could be squashed into the "Legacy callback fixups"
patch, for example). I could then retest and potentially rebase the
remaining changes on your next version.
