drm: Do not set connector->encoder in drivers
An encoder is associated with a connector by the DRM core as a result of setting up a configuration. Drivers using the atomic or legacy helpers should never set up this link, even if it is a static one. While at it, try to catch this kind of error in the future by adding a WARN_ON() in drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder(). Note that this doesn't cover all the cases, since drivers could set this up after attaching. Drivers that use the atomic helpers will get a warning later on, though, so hopefully the two combined cover enough to help people avoid this in the future.
