Woops! I will fix that.

I think load called once every drm_device registered.

Yep, allocate 'ep' on stack is better, and error label can be removed.

If device-tree is given, it just print error message, and HDMI don't display, that all. RGB-LCD
can display normally.

If device-tree is not given, attach bridge will return when detecting HDMI connection.
I think this should also be checked within " hdmienc_create ", or encoder will be allocated anyway.
Will fix that next version.

Yep, I just think that two function's return value should be handled, so put the
error message here. Maybe return value check should be dropped. What do you think?
