drm_simple_encoder_init() is deprecated as it introduces an unnecessary
intermediate layer between atomic modesetting and DRM drivers.
This helper has meanwhile been removed entirely.
Best regards
Thomas
Inline the helper call in virtgpu_display by defining
virtio_gpu_encoder_funcs with the default drm_encoder_cleanup callback,
and migrate directly to drm_encoder_init()
