Point of this reordering the statements is...?

I don't see why you have changed the earlier code to store the result of PTR_ERR into
ret other than to help your debugging. I suggest that you keep the existing code that
returns PTR_ERR(blob) directly and you will have a nicer diff stat as well.

.... if they want to manage themselves the lifetime of the associated encoder.

We're not trying to replace drm_writeback_connector_init() function here, only to
provide an alternative function to call for special cases.

Where is the encoder parameter? Isn't that the reason why the function is called
`_with_encoder`?

I think there might have been too many version of these patchsets and things are
starting to be confusing. Please revisit the series without rushing and come up with
a plan of action. My understanding of watching this series has been that you're
trying to come up with a function that does *connector* initialisation but skips the
*encoder* initialisation because it might have been already done by the driver. The
idea will be then to have a function `drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder()`
that does *all* the work that `drm_writeback_connector_init()` does at the moment minus
the encoder initialisation part. Then `drm_writeback_connector_init()` only
initialises the internal encoder and calls `drm_writeback_connector_init_with_encoder()`.
There is no need to have the `drm_writeback_connector_setup()` function at all.

Best regards,
Liviu
