All this is about purity, DECON bindings says explicitly that there
should be a port with reg=0.
So your patch and DTC warnings are incorrect from bindings PoV.
On the other side graph bindings are too bloated ( so many lines to
describe one connection ) so I am happy if there are shrinking attempts :)
Functionally nothing changes, of graph helpers assume reg=0 if it is not
present in port/endpoint node.

And regarding real issues, DECON could have more ports, possible candidates:
- GSCALER0/1/2,
- GSD/DSD - interconnect between GSCALERs and DECONs,
- SMIES - image enhancer (not implemented),
- MIC0/1 - image enhancers,
- DSIM0/1 - DSI encoders,
- HDMI - HDMI encoder.

But since all these connections can be configured dynamically, and more
importantly are inside specific SoC I dont think they need of_graphs. In
fact I think current of graph is also not necessary, but this is
different story, removal is on my long TODO list :)
