Hi Tomi,

Thank you for the patch.

Checking the compat string here feels like a bit of a hack to me. Wouldn't it 
be simpler and cleaner to add the connector type to the omap_dss_device 
structure ? That's more work though, so as a first step I think I could 
tolerate this hack if you really feel lazy ;-) Although, maybe we should just 
return SVIDEO unconditionally for VENC for now and fix that later.
