Hi,
overall it looks to me like this binding is modeled after the Linux DRM
abstractions. Instead, the device nodes should be modeled after the
hardware.
Describing each function block as a separate device node is probably not
the best choice, as would be combining all devices in the mmsys range
into a single device node. So a somewhat arbitrary decision has to be
made what to group together. See my comments below:

"crtc" does not belong in the device tree. There is no crtc hardware.
What this node describes is a useful, but fixed configuration of a part
of the DISP subsystem function blocks.
In my opinion, it would be better to not describe the separate display
pipes in the device tree at all if they are dynamically configurable.
What for example if you model two separate fixed pipelines in the device
tree and then in the future you want to support the MERGE or SPLIT
blocks (I'm not sure what MERGE does, SPLIT seems to be needed for
8-lane DSI)?
As far as I currently understand, there are five source function blocks
that can read from memory (OVL0, OVL1, RDMA0, RDMA1, RDMA2) and three
sink function blocks (DSI0, DSI1, DPI0) that can be connected to panels,
or encoder bridges. How these map to the crtcs doesn't necessarily have
to be described in the device tree.
How about a single node that contains all of the DISP functional blocks
that don't need their own node (like DSI, which has to be connectable to
bridges or panels):

How the muxes in the config area are set up to connect those blocks

Should it be mentioned that this is the interrupt of the source of the
pipeline (OVL0/1)?

With the amount of register ranges and given the symmetry with the
clocks, better use reg-names instead of position to determine the
register space for each function block.
reg-names = "ovl0", "rdma0", "color0", "aal", "ufoe", "od";

I'd drop the disp suffix from the clock input names.

This is not a real device either. There is nothing wrong with having a
ddp driver, but I don't think it is right to describe this driver in the
device tree. What we really have here is the mutex function block and
some registers in the mmsys config region, which already can be accessed
via the mmsys syscon.
With a single disp device node including the mutex and power domain
phandle this node would not be necessary.

This remaps part of the mmsys register space, which is already a syscon.
Why not use syscon to access it?

"drm" does not belong in the device tree. There is no "drm" hardware.
Other SoCs use the "display-subsystem" name for this node, it would be
better to follow that.

"connectors" and "crtcs" as used here are DRM concepts, not hardware
devices that should exist in the device tree. Ideally you would use
something recognizable from the datasheet, like "sinks" or from the
device tree, like "ports" if of-graph bindings are used, or just
"components" if this also were to include things like the ddp.
Another possibility would be to even merge the

Will this use the
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mipi/dsi/mipi-dsi-bus.txt
bindings to connect panels controlled via the DSI command channel
or the
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt
bindings to connect panels controlled via I2C or other control buses?
If so, this should be documented here.

Maybe shorten the clock names to "engine" and "digital" ?
And add an example of panel or bridge connected to the DSI sink.
What about DSI1 and the DPI sink?
