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.

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.
Thanks for pointing this, I didn't realize it will prevent higher
resolutions. With this change, the bmc resolution becomes 1920x1200
(with "disabled vga" and no DP connected), which is much nicer.
With vga, it stays at 1024x768. So maybe adding a .detect_ctx() for vga
too would be worth it. But that's for another series.

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

ok, it's simple enough to call drm_encoder_init() directly.

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

Thanks for the review, I will push a v4 shortly.
