Yes, video-interfaces described in [1] are OF graphs described in [2]
with additional properties specific for video pipelines.

OK, I see the issue: dsi driver requires presence of DSI_PORT_OUT
endpoint, because it needs to read MIPI-DSI burst and esc clock
frequencies from these nodes, however it does not use it to get panel
node, panel node is get by .attach callback. Probably these clock
frequencies should be passed via struct mipi_dsi_device.
So as for now I think it would be simpler to leave OF graph, as it is
already used this way in other drivers.

After examining drivers it looks like these timings, beside panel, are
read by MIC driver, and this is wrong. MIC driver shouldn't peek into
other driver's nodes, it can use DRM callbacks (mode_fixup, mode_set) to
get necessary information. And more importantly display-timings in
panels are not accepted by panels maintainer AFAIK, see [1] for rationale.
