For each encoder, CRTC, and connector, several functions must
be provided, depending on the object type. Encoder objects
need to provide a DPMS (basically on/off) function, mode fixup
(for converting requested modes into native hardware timings),
and prepare, set and commit functions for use by the core DRM
helper functions. Connector helpers need to provide mode fetch and
validity functions as well as an encoder matching function for
returning an ideal encoder for a given connector. The core
connector functions include a DPMS callback, (deprecated)
save/restore routines, detection, mode probing, property handling,
and cleanup functions.
