The helper drm_simple_encoder_init() is deprecated because it adds an
unnecessary intermediate layer between atomic modesetting and DRM drivers,
as documented in Documentation/gpu/todo.rst.

Inline the functionality by calling drm_encoder_init() directly with a
local instance of struct drm_encoder_funcs. This allows removing the
dependency on <drm/drm_simple_kms_helper.h> in favor of
<drm/drm_encoder.h>.

Tested:
- Compiled with W=1 on x86_64 with zero warnings or errors.
- Verified with lockdep and debug mutexes enabled
  (CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y).
- Boot-tested full bzImage in QEMU with -device virtio-gpu-pci and
  initcall_debug, confirming successful probe and initialization
  (probe of virtio0 with driver virtio_gpu returned 0) and zero
  lockdep/kernel warnings.
- Verified with scripts/checkpatch.pl (0 errors, 0 warnings).

These have all been fixed already. You need to work on drm-tip, drm-misc 
or a driver-specific git tree for development.

Best regards

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the pointer! I will base future DRM work on drm-misc/drm-tip.

Best regards,
Melih
