You should actually have a DT node for the connector. I would merge the 
encoders into the VPU node (especially given that according to your diagram 
they are part of the VPU), and document the VPU output ports explicitly. If 
the CVBS output is not implemented by some of the SoCs in the family then the 
corresponding DT node should just omit that port.

Thank you.
