Ah, because one takes the port node and one takes the endpoint node.
That won't confuse anyone.

Can we please align this mess. I've tried to make the graph parsing
not a free for all, open coded mess. There's no reason to have the
port node handle and then need the parent device. Either you started
with the parent device to parse local ports and endpoints or you got
the remote endpoint with .graph_get_remote_endpoint(). Most of the
time you don't even need the endpoint node handles. You really just
need to know what is the remote device connected to port X, endpoint Y
of my local device.
