How about updating this part as well ?
"Used by both the DRM core and the atomic helpers to select the encoder
(through the &drm_connector_helper_funcs.atomic_best_encoder), access it
and report it to userspace (through the GETCONNECTOR and GETENCODER
ioctls). This field shall be set by all atomic drivers, either directly
or through atomic helpers."
