So should be new behaviour reverted? I mean ignoring endpoint 0 on TV TCONs. For me, it doesn't make sense to check for panel or bridges on TV TCONs, because they are never exposed on physical pins.

So just to be clear, before I send follow up series, I have to add "allwinner,tcon-channel" property to DT, because both TV TCONs can be connected to either TVE or HDMI (trough TCON TOP)? BTW, since this property is not used at all in the code, why not just simply deprecate it and remove it from existing DTs? I noticed this is standard practice for obsolete properties.
