So you are suggesting to drop this change and just update the doc in 
patch 2?

If so, I dont think it would be correct to assume that even though 
drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder() is used 
drm_writeback_connector.encoder should not be used.

The reason is that, lets consider, prepare_wb_job() and 
cleanup_writeback_job().

These pass only the connector to the vendor hooks.

1126 	 *
1127 	 * This callback is used by the atomic modeset helpers.
1128 	 */
1129 	int (*prepare_writeback_job)(struct drm_writeback_connector 
*connector,
1130 				     struct drm_writeback_job *job);

Now, if you assume connector->encoder is not valid, this adds more 
confusion because now we are putting an extra condition that 
connector->encoder is not valid anymore.

Thats why I think we should leave it as-it-is to not allow room for such 
discrepancies.
