This seems fairly intrusive, but also commit / commit_tail might not be
the best place to put this, we want to support it at the connector
level.

Indeed, this will cause some issue if your HDMI output is a bridge for
example, where the commit will be in an entirely different driver that
has no dependency on the HDMI controller one.

I think it would be best to do that assignment in atomic_check. That
way, if the userspace does a commit with DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY it
would know what the output state would have been like.

Also, all of your patches don't follow the kernel coding style. Make
sure you fix the issues reported by checkpatch --strict
