Hi

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()
