Playing the devil's advocate here a bit. What if you end up adding
another thing you need to initialize like this? Are you going to need
three more functions to account for the combinations? Init with ddc,
with foo, with ddc and foo? So I generally frown upon interfaces like
this.

If everyone thinks this is the way to go, I'm not going to stand in the
way, but personally I'd rather switch over all of i915 to a new version
of drm_connector_init() that just takes another parameter.

BR,
Jani.
