So this node doesn't correspond to an IP core but is meant as a top-level
entry point for the operating system. This leads me to three questions.
1. Is there any IP core in the Mediatek display subsystem that could be
considered (or at least used) as a top-level entry point ? That would be my
preferred solution as I'm not fond of DT nodes not describing hardware.
2. If there's no such IP core, are all the display subsystem IP cores grouped
together in one MMIO register range ? If so we could move them as children of
this new display system node which, even if doesn't describe an IP core, would
describe the way the display IP cores are grouped in the hardware, and would
thus be a hardware description.
3. If the answer to the second question is also negative, shouldn't this
display system node reference all other display IP DT nodes (through direct
phandles and/or OF graph bindings) ?
