Yes, it is a physical port. I agree adding a DT node for the physical
DP input connector would let us add link-frequencies to the input port
of the receiver.

However, dp-connector seems to be a binding for an output port - it's
under schemas/display/connector, and DP_PWR can be a power supply only
for an output port (looking at the dp-pwr-supply property). Also, the
driver for this binding is a DRM bridge driver (display-connector.c)
which would not be compatible with a v4l2 (sub)device.
