/**
* DOC: overview
*
* Encoders represent the connecting element between the CRTC (as the overall
* pixel pipeline, represented by &struct drm_crtc) and the connectors (as the
* generic sink entity, represented by &struct drm_connector). An encoder takes
* pixel data from a CRTC and converts it to a format suitable for any attached
* connector. Encoders are objects exposed to userspace, originally to allow
* userspace to infer cloning and connector/CRTC restrictions. Unfortunately
* almost all drivers get this wrong, making the uabi pretty much useless. On
* top of that the exposed restrictions are too simple for today's hardware, and
* the recommended way to infer restrictions is by using the
* DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY flag for the atomic IOCTL.
*
* Otherwise encoders aren't used in the uapi at all (any modeset request from
* userspace directly connects a connector with a CRTC), drivers are therefore
* free to use them however they wish. Modeset helper libraries make strong use
* of encoders to facilitate code sharing. But for more complex settings it is
* usually better to move shared code into a separate &drm_bridge. Compared to
* encoders, bridges also have the benefit of being purely an internal
* abstraction since they are not exposed to userspace at all.
*
* Encoders are initialized with drm_encoder_init() and cleaned up using
* drm_encoder_cleanup().
