It is the job of the encoder to configure itself as well, and I
think that for RTSM you need a virtual encoder as well.

I think the name you picked is going to be confusing, as this is not an
encoder at all, but a virtual connector.

I don't think you need these enable/disable hooks, the drm_bridge.c code
seems to be checking if they are present and skips them if they're not.

Same for this one, AFAICT.

I need to check how your driver behaves compared with my old virtual
encoder driver but at a glance things look OK to me.
