Yeah, I know, I wasn't really happy about it either :/ I already removed
some parts of it to reduce it, but I'll try to be more aggressive.

I'm really not sure actually. In the general case, you'll want to have
vblank functions, since it doesn't really make sense to have a driver
without it.

We could argue that with writeback, it might be optional like being done
here, but you don't really know if you're going to use a writeback
connector in the CRTC at initialisation time, and all the other
writeback encoders actually seem to use a real CRTC that can output to a
real encoder, and therefore has some proper vblank handling too.

So yeah, it really looks like the check is valid, and that driver is
just the odd case.
