Thanks for the review!

I'm sorry but I'm not following you here (I think I need more
coffee :)).

What do you mean by connector->possible_ids ? Is this something
new ? Because I didn't find anything in my tree and I'm based on
today's drm-next from Dave.

But drm_for_each_crtc() iterates over all crtc from a device and
some crtcs may only be used by specific encoders (by setting
encoder->possible_crtcs), right ? We need to iterate only over
the encoder's crtc we want to validate.

Ok, thanks!
