It's mandatory and considered core state since ioctls rely on this working.
Thanks to Laurent for pointing out this gap.
v2: Clarify to "atomic drivers" only.

How about updating this part as well ?
"Used by both the DRM core and the atomic helpers to select the encoder (through the &drm_connector_helper_funcs.atomic_best_encoder), access it and report it to userspace (through the GETCONNECTOR and GETENCODER ioctls). This field shall be set by all atomic drivers, either directly or through atomic helpers."
It's kinda two things, I think best to describe in two paragraphs. But I can move the core usage up, since arguable more important. Otoh most drivers won't care since helpers handle this, and they care more about how @best_encoder is used.
E.g. core never calls the helper callbacks @atomic_best_endoer/best_encoder, which isn't clear anymore with your wording. And I have a sticker for core/helper splits :-)
Went ahead with Sean's irc ack and merged this. We can bikeshed more later on I guess with more patches. I think sprinkling a pile of cross references once Sean's and yours patches all land would be good. -Daniel
