Document OF graph on MMSYS/VDOSYS: this supports up to three DDP paths
per HW instance (so potentially up to six displays for multi-vdo SoCs).
The MMSYS or VDOSYS is always the first component in the DDP pipeline,
so it only supports an output port with multiple endpoints - where each
endpoint defines the starting point for one of the (currently three)
possible hardware paths.

This patch looks good to me. Just want to share another information for you.
Here is an example that mmsys/vdosys could point to the display interface node.
vdosys0: syscon@1c01a000 {
mmsys-display-interface = <&dsi0>, <&dsi1>, <&dp_intf0>;
};
vdosys1: syscon@1c100000 {
mmsys-display-interface = <&dp_intf1>;
};
There is no conflict that mmsys/vdosys point to first component of one display pipeline or point to display interface.
Both could co-exist.
Hey CK,
yes, this could be an alternative to the OF graphs, and I'm sure that it'd work,
even though this kind of solution would still require partial hardcoding of the
display paths up until mmsys-display-interface (so, up until DSI0, or DSI1, etc).
The problem with a solution like this is that, well, even though it would work,
even if we ignore the suboptimal partial hardcoding, OF graphs are something
generic, while the mmsys-display-interface would be a MediaTek specific/custom
property.
In the end, reusing generic kernel apis/interfaces/etc is always preferred
compared to custom solutions, especially in this case, in which the generic
stuff is on-par (or actually, depending purely on personal opinions, superior).
As for the two to co-exist, I'm not sure that this is actually needed, as the
OF graphs are already (at the end of the graph) pointing to the display interface.
In any case, just as a reminder: if there will be any need to add any custom
MediaTek specific properties later, it's ok and we can do that at any time.
Cheers!
Angelo
