Hmmm, too bad it wants to own its encoder. LCDC on Beaglebone-Black
needs the componentized external tda998x driver. So at least in its
current form the drm_simple_display_pipe wont work for tilcdc.

It may not be too big a job to add an external encoder support, but
would it complicate currently so nice and simple driver structure too much?
