As far as I understood, the LCDIF -> DSI connection is always present in
the SoC. Can you overwrite the routing in your dts like this:?
&lcdif_out_mipi_dsi {
remote-endpoint = <&lcd_panel_in>;
};
I'm not sure what is the best default solution here for imx7s.dtsi. Also
the labels don't work out in that case, this could be improved.
