Yes. The only other one is mode_fixup, and we already have atomic_check as
the fancy replacement for that. Please align the parameter ordering with
encoder->atomic_check for consistency.

Also when you do that patch, pls don't forget the vtable kerneldoc
comments, and make sure there's no warnings/issues and it renders nicely
using

$ make htmldocs

Since 4.8 will feature a new sphinx-based toolchain, pls run that command
on top of linux-next (for the latest sphinx fixes from docs-next).
