A patch series was floated in the drm mailing list which aimed to change the drm_connector and drm_encoder fields to pointer in the drm_connector_writeback structure, this received a huge pushback from the community but since i915 expects each connector present in the drm_device list to be a intel_connector but drm_writeback framework. [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/20220202081702.22119-1-... [2] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/20220202085429.22261-6-... This forces us to use a drm_connector which is not embedded in intel_connector the current drm_writeback framework becomes very unfeasible to us as it would mean a lot of checks at a lot of places to take into account the above issue.Since no one had an issue with encoder field being changed into a pointer it was decided to break the connector and encoder pointer changes into two different series.The encoder field changes is currently being worked upon by Abhinav Kumar [3]https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/list/?series=633565 In the meantime for i915 to start using the writeback functionality we came up with a interim solution to own writeback pipeline bypassing one provided by drm which is what these patches do. Note: these are temp patches till we figure out how we can either change drm core writeback to work with our intel_connector structure or find a different solution which allows us to work with the current drm_writeback framework
