It would be nice to have a model that fits both DSI and SDVO, and the option
to configure some of it from userspace.

I thought the purpose of drm_encoder was to abstract hardware like this?

SDVO is entirely hidden by the drm_encoder interface; some of the
controls (like TV encoder parameters) are exposed through DRM
properties, others are used in the basic configuration of the device.

I'm not sure we need a new abstraction that subsumes both DSI and SDVO,
but we may need a DSI library that can be used by both DRM and other
parts of the kernel.
