Sure, but we're still discussing an API to accomodate your use-case
here. Your usecase is one thing, but the API has to be cover all cases,
and there's definitely some CRTCs out there that support multiple output
formats that would benefit from that API.

And it would mimic the drm_bridge API, which is a nice consistency
bonus.
