Now you got it!

Agreed.

Thanks. I prefer this approach as well. I can see now why qcom always
wants to change the output ports on the DPU node in DT to match the
INTF number. If they would have described this problem it may have made
sense to have the graph endpoints with reg properties matching the
interface number in the intf array. Sigh.
