I'm just curious, from where do you queue the writeback job if you don't
have a connector->atomic_commit() hook implemented? AFAICT, the
encoder->enable() method is only called when the encoder is being
enabled, and not every time you update the FB_ID prop of the writeback
connector. Am I missing something?

I'm fine making this hook optional. I'll update the code and the doc in
a separate commit.
