This paragraph reads a bit strange to me - I read this as a
justification for addding a generic encoded that can be used by exisitg
drivers.
How about something like this:
Many drivers requires a very simple encoder that only fullfill
the minimum requirements of the display pipeline and do not add
any extra functionslity.
The simple-encoder functions drm_simple_encoder_init() and
drm_simple_encoder_create() provides an impålmentation of such
a simple encoder.
The simple encoder includes automatically release of resources.
And then leave it to the changelog to tell what should be done in
existing drivers.
