Thanks for reminding me. Please update hooks for both
atomic_best_encoder and best_encoder. Also mention that it's only
optional for atomic drivers. There's lots of examples in that file for
the wording usually used.

drm_encoder_find is an idr lookup. That should be plenty fast,
especially for modeset code. Usually what's too expensive even for
modeset code is linear list walks. But Chris just submitted patches to
convert most of them into simple lookups.
