You can do:

static LIST_HEAD(output_list);

Then you don't need to initialize it separately.

A patch that adds kzalloc but no free is always a bit suspicious =).

Instead of allocating omap_dss_output here, you could let the caller do
it, and only initialize it here with default values (if that's even
needed). Then the caller can use kzalloc, or can just embed the stuct
into its own data-struct, which may be often a better choice.

I'm not sure about this. We already have enum omap_display_type. If you
need the instance number, you could have that as a separate int field.

Where do you need the output_id?

So instead of omap_dss_output_id, you'd have omap_display_type type and
int id, which together tell the supported output and also the output
driver instance.
