I don't like inferring the information. With the above, you can't find
out that the DVI connector has digital and analog support before all the
drivers are loaded.

Hmm, well endpoints for a single port are exclusive. So it's either a
single port and a single endpoint, or two ports and two endpoints. I
think dual link has to be single port & endpoint, as the TMDS links need
to be driven together as a single bus.

And dual-link is not really "two links". DVI dual-link means 1 clock
lane and 6 data lanes, compared to 1 clock lane and 3 data lanes for
single-link.

There's another thread discussing the ports and endpoints.

The port node represents, for example, the pins for the connection for
that device. And an endpoint-endpoint link represents wires between two
ports.
