Yes, but not for retrieving bit offsets into registers. Normally aliases
can be changed at board level without confusing drivers.

The device tree parsing could be moved out of vop2_crtc_atomic_enable()
into some initialisation path. In the end it's static information,
there's no need to do it repeatedly in atomic_enable.
