In this case, most of the constraints are going to be on the encoder
still so it should be the one driving it. The panel will only care about
which mode has been selected, but it shouldn't be the one driving it,
and thus we still don't really need to expose the host capabilities.

This is very much like HDMI: the encoder knows what the monitor is
capable of, will take a decision based on its capabilities and the
monitor's and will then let the monitor know. But the monitor never
knows what the encoder is truly capable of, nor will it enforce
something.
