Ok, that seems more clean approach. I'll have to extend graph traversing
algorithm in sun4i_drv.c, but that's no problem.
Just to be clear, you have in mind 3 pairs of ports (0/1 for mixer0 mux, 2/3
for mixer1 and 4/5 for HDMI input), right? That way each mux is represented
with one pair of ports, even numbered for input and odd numbered for output.

Either phandle to tcon_top_out_tcon0 or tcon_top_out_tcon1.

Ok, I'll try to do something with "reg" property.
