At least intel's copy of intel_crtc_encoder_ok() can be updated, too.
But they don't depend on the crtc_helpers so we'd have to move your
small helper into drm_crtc.c (which is fine to me as it is not limited
to the DRM-crtc-helpers).

possible_clones is about encoders, you're right, I missed that. So you
can carry it in your series just fine.

Thanks
