Yeah these look fine now.  Thanks.

In the future (someday) the SDVO code should probably start using the
core DRM encoder structs, since the SDVO devices are really encoders
with one or more connectors attached.  Our current code might have
trouble with multi-connector SDVO devices, and certainly has issues
with detection...
