This adds a driver for generic vga encoders like the Analog Devices adv7123 and similar ics. These chips do not have any special configuration options except a powersafe gpio.

An exception is added for the rcar-du driver which also implements support for the adv7123 internally but is not yet converted to the component framework.

Why is this implemented as a master? It's not the top level card device, it shouldn't be a master. It should be a component.

I wonder if this is why you need your previous patches. Componentised DRM works fine without needing to build lists of connectors and encoders.
