I don't think we should start poking at the CRTC internals, but we
should rather provide a helper here.

There's nothing restricting it to bridges here. Please rephrase this to
remove the bridge mention. The user is typically going to be the
encoder, and bridges are just an automagic implementation of an encoder.

And generally speaking, I'd really like to have an implementation
available before merging this.
