It just failed to init the encoder, so better not use it here. The
device should be the same as passed to the function via 'dev'.

Again, you rather want drm_err() with drm_dev here.
I've briefly looked over the series and many patches seem affected.
Please prefer drm_ logging functions and DRM devices over the plain
device equivalents.
