So till the previous change, the only user of 
drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder() was 
drm_writeback_connector_init() which was still passing its own 
internal_encoder.

Only if the wb_connector->encoder is changed to a pointer, other vendor 
drivers can pass their own encoder to 
drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder().

Hence you are right that drm_writeback_connector functions do not need 
drm_encoder after init() returns, but till this change is done, other 
vendor drivers cannot directly call 
drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder() because the encoder will not 
be valid till then.

Hope this clarifies it.
