That'a a reasonable suggestion in theory.  ...but we run into the same
problem I've run into before with the strange relationship between
dw_hdmi and its descendants.

Specifically:

* "struct dw_hdmi", which has a pointer to encoder, is private to dw-hdmi.c

* We could get the encoder if we had a pointer to the "struct
rockchip_hdmi", but there's no way to get that.  You would _think_ you
could get it back using platform_get_drvdata() because it was stashed
with platform_set_drvdata().  ...but you'd be wrong.  The
platform_set_drvdata() is just there to fool you.  I believe when you
call dw_hdmi_bind() it clobbers your drvdata when it calls
dev_set_drvdata(dev, hdmi);


Said another way: taking your suggestion means we need to add some way
for dw_hdmi-rockchip.c to get a pointer to the encoder from a "struct
device".  We could (A) move the "struct dw_hdmi" definition to a
private header and allow dw_hdmi-rockchip.c to include it or we could
(B) add a dw_hdmi_get_encoder() API call that dw_hdmi-rockchip.c could
call.


If someone would let me know whether (A) or (B) is OK I'm happy to post a patch.


...or, of course, if I've made a mistake in all the above, feel free
to point it out.
