Hi Boris,
Thank you for the patch.

Could you please update include/drm/drm_modeset_helper_vtables.h to document
this new behaviour ?
The only drawback I see in this patch is the additional object lookup
performed by drm_atomic_helper_best_encoder() at runtime. I wonder if we could
somehow cache the information, as the assignment can't change when there's a
1:1 correspondence between encoders and connectors.
