Hm, but using the internal one is also a bit too ugly. A
drm_plain_simple_enocder_alloc(drm, type) wrapper would be the right
thing here I think? Setting the offsets and struct sizes directly in
these in drivers really doesn't feel like a good idea. I think simple
encoder is the only case where we really have a need for a
non-embeddable struct.
