In order for drivers to implement drm_connectors atomic_state_readout
hooks, they need to query the hardware and lookup the CRTC to set
drm_connector_state.crtc.
It should be easy enough for drivers that are tightly integrated from
the CRTC to the connectors, but if the driver uses bridges, there's no
coupling between the CRTC and encoder, and the bridge driver.
The only thing the bridge has access to is the encoder, but the
relationship between a CRTC and an encoder isn't a fixed mapping at the
framework level, and thus the bridge can't deduce which CRTC is feeding
its encoder.
Thus, let's create a new hook for encoders to implement to return the
CRTC they are currently connected to.
