The DRM-managed function to register an encoder is drmm_encoder_alloc() and its variants, which will allocate the underlying structure and initialisation the encoder. However, we might want to separate the structure creation and the encoder initialisation, for example if the structure is shared across multiple DRM entities, for example an encoder and a connector. Let's create an helper to only initialise an encoder that would be passed as an argument.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
