another great piece which helps a lot with HDMI support for the 32-bit SoCs!
I have one question below - but regardless of the answer there this gets my:

I am wondering if we should use something like:
    encoder_hdmi->cec_notifier_pdev

and then move this logic to meson_encoder_hdmi_attach()
This would be important if .detach() and .attach() can be called
multiple times (for example during suspend and resume). But I am not
sure if that's a supported use-case.
