This and the similar patch for HDMI could probably also be left out for
now. Again I agree that this is correct direction, but this is not
really needed (right?) for output work or writeback. And we'll
eventually just change these parameters again.

The motivation for this patch was probably to have common format for the
output driver's functions, so that you can use func pointers in an ops
struct?

Let's delay that work until the common panel framework gets a bit more
solid.

Sorry if I'm saying "leave this patch out" for most of the patches =). I
just want to avoid extra churn, going back and forth with the code. The
most important things now are to get the output work in a state that WB
can be used, and on the other hand to remove the dssdev dependencies so
that at some point we can remove dssdev totally.
