[PATCH 1/6] drm: allow real encoder to be passed for drm_writeback_connector

[Abhinav Kumar]

For some vendor driver implementations, display hardware can
be shared between the encoder used for writeback and the physical
display.

In addition resources such as clocks and interrupts can
also be shared between writeback and the real encoder.

To accommodate such vendor drivers and hardware, allow
real encoder to be passed for drm_writeback_connector.
