You are right, this isnt. Looking more into this, it seems like moving 
the allocation of encoder to drm_writeback.c for cases which dont pass a 
real encoder is much better so that I will not have to add alloc() / 
free() code for all the vendor driver changes which is what I originally 
thought in my RFC but changed my mind because of below.

Do you think we can just move usage of wb_conn->encoder->possible_crtcs 
just right after drm_writeback_connector_init() so that it wont crash?

198 int rcar_du_writeback_init(struct rcar_du_device *rcdu,
199 			   struct rcar_du_crtc *rcrtc)
200 {
201 	struct drm_writeback_connector *wb_conn = &rcrtc->writeback;
202
203 	wb_conn->encoder.possible_crtcs = 1 << drm_crtc_index(&rcrtc->crtc);
204 	drm_connector_helper_add(&wb_conn->base,
205 				 &rcar_du_wb_conn_helper_funcs);
206
207 	return drm_writeback_connector_init(&rcdu->ddev, wb_conn,
208 					    &rcar_du_wb_conn_funcs,
209 					    &rcar_du_wb_enc_helper_funcs,
210 					    writeback_formats,
211 					    ARRAY_SIZE(writeback_formats));
212 }
