Users of drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder() handle the encoder
themselves, they can simply ignore drm_writeback_connector.encoder. The
documentation of the encoder field needs to be updated though (I'd do so
in the previous patch), to clearly mention that the field is valid only
when using drm_writeback_connector_init(), not when calling
drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder().
