A patch series was floated in the drm mailing list which aimed to change
the drm_connector and drm_encoder fields to pointer in the
drm_connector_writeback structure, this received a huge pushback from
the community but since i915 expects each connector present in the
drm_device list to be a intel_connector but drm_writeback framework
forces us to use a drm_connector which is not embedded in
intel_connector the current drm_writeback framework becomes very
unfeasible to us as it would mean a lot of checks at a lot of places
to take into account the above issue. One of the solutions is to
make our own writeback pipeline bypassing one provided by drm
which is what these patches do.
