Hi,

thanks for this patch.

Most aspeed devices have a BMC, which allows to remotely see the screen.
Also in the common use case, those servers don't have a display connected.
So add a Virtual connector, to reflect that even if no display is
connected, the framebuffer can still be seen remotely.
This prepares the work to implement a detect_ctx() for the Display port
connector.

Fixes: fae7d186403e ("drm/probe-helper: Default to 640x480 if no EDID on DP")

That's probably too small. The CRTC lists resolutions up to 1920x1200. Returning 1024x768 could easily filter out those higher-res modes.

The BMC can probably just use whatever the CRTC offers. So rather call drm_add_modes_noedid() with 4096x4096. At 32 bpp, this covers the max memory of 64 MiB. The CRTC will filter out unsupported modes.

It's zero-allocated memory. Please don't clear these fields manually. (I know that ast doesn't get this right.)

Adding the simple_encoder helper was a mistake. Please open-code its functionality in ast. (Also something that ast currently does not.)

Maybe just inline this call. It's simple enough.
