Hi Laurent

Thanks for the review.

One question below.

I also wanted to do that but that would break compilation of this change 
because of vc4 (explained below) so I had to club it in this patch.

If you can provide some suggestion on how to address vc4's dependency I 
can break this up.

vc4 directly references connector.encoder here.

Also here.
