The docs say possible_clones should always include the encoder itself.
Since most drivers don't want to deal with the complexities of cloning
let's allow them to set possible_clones=0 and instead we'll fix that
up in the core.
We can't put this special case into drm_encoder_init() because drivers
will have to fill up possible_clones after adding all the relevant
encoders. Otherwise they wouldn't know the proper encoder indexes to
use. So we'll just do it just before registering the device.
v2: Don't set the bit if possible_clones!=0 so that the
validation (coming soon) will WARN (Thomas)
Fix up the docs to allow possible_clones==0 (Daniel)
.late_register() is too late, introduce drm_mode_config_validate()
which gets called _before_ we register the char device (Daniel)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
