Post-NV50, the only kind of encoder you'll find for DP connectors on Nvidia GPUs are SORs (serial output resources). Because SORs have fixed associations with their connectors, we can correctly assume that any DP connector on a nvidia GPU will have exactly one SOR encoder routed to it for DisplayPort. Since we're going to need to be able to retrieve this fixed SOR DP encoder much more often as a result of hooking up MST helpers for tracking SST<->MST transitions in atomic states, let's simply cache this encoder in nouveau_connector for any DP connectors on the system to avoid looking it up each time. This isn't safe for NV50 since PIORs then come into play, however there's no code pre-NV50 that would need to look this up anyhow - so it's not really an issue.

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.
