Oops, I guess I was on an old tree or whatever by accident. I meant
drm_connector->encoder_ids, that limits the encoders you can use on a
crtc. For many drivers there's only one.

This was a comment about ->encoder_ids, since we don't validate that in
the atomic helpers (but instead rely on ->(atomic_)best_encoder to give us
the right encoder) validating here in this function might be a problem and
uncover driver bugs. But for drm_encoder_crtc_ok there's no such risk, so
this is safe.

I was simply dumping my thoughts while reviewing, the code is all good :-)
