The function drm_simple_encoder_init() is a trivial helper and

Resolves the dependency on drm_simple_kms_helper.h. No functional
changes.

What about using drmm_encoder_init() instead? It will call
drm_encoder_cleanup automatically.
IIRC the original use case for the drmm_encoder_*() funcs was to solve
problems with the clean-up order if the encoder was added dynamically. The
hardware for ast is entirely static and ast uses drmm_mode_config_init() for
auto-cleaning up the modesetting pipeline. Using drmm_encoder_init() seems
like a bit of wasted resources for no gain.
I'd say it's qui pro quo. We are wasting resources on drmm handling, but
then keep it by dropping all drm_encoder_funcs instances.
With drm_encoder_init() there's a static-const declared struct in RO
memory. With drmm_encoder_init(), there's a kalloc for the managed
callback data. It's RW memory and the alloc can fail. Therefore I prefer
drm_encoder_init() in this case.
Ack.
One more though on this: we could discuss if we want some default
cleanup. Such as if no cleanup pointer has been set, we always call
drm_encoder_cleanup(). But IMHO that needs to be consistent among all
elements of the pipeline (planes, CRTCs, etc), and we need to document
clearly which and why the default has been chosen.
Best regards
Thomas
