The non-ports-based OF graph returns a -19 example on the Allwinner
Display pipeline in R16 [1].

We need to have a helper to return host_node for non-ports as I have
done it for drm_of_find_bridge.

[1] https://patchwork.amarulasolutions.com/patch/1805/

The link points to a patch marked "DO NOT MERGE", maybe that patch is
missing the DSI host port@0 OF graph link ? Both port@0 and port@1 are
required, see:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/chipone,icn6211.yaml#n53

What is "non-ports-based OF graph" ?

I don't see drm_of_find_bridge() in linux-next , what is that ?

port@0 is optional as some of the DSI host OF-graph represent the
bridge or panel as child nodes instead of ports. (i think dt-binding
has to fix it to make port@0 optional)

The current upstream DT binding document says:

       required:
         - port@0
         - port@1

So port@0 is mandatory.

In the binding, sure, but fundamentally the DT excerpt Jagan provided is
correct. If the bridge supports DCS, there's no reason to use the OF
graph in the first place: the bridge node will be a child node of the
MIPI-DSI controller (and there's no obligation to use the OF-graph for a
MIPI-DSI controller).

I believe port@0 should be made optional (or downright removed if
MIPI-DCS in the only control bus).

That's out of scope of this series anyway, so Jagan can implement patches
for that mode if needed.

Not really? You can't count on the port@0 being there generally
speaking, so you can't count on data-lanes being there either, which
exactly what you're doing in this patch.

I can because the upstream DT bindings currently say port@0 must be present,
see above. If that requirement should be relaxed, sure, but that's a
separate series.

And another upstream DT bindings say that you don't need them at all.

Which "another upstream DT bindings" do you refer to ?

Yes, there's a conflict. Yes, it's unfortunate. But the generic DSI
binding is far more relevant than a single bridge driver.

That seems to be the wrong way around, how can generic subsystem-wide binding take precedence over specific driver binding ?

So figuring it out is very much a prerequisite to that series,
especially since those patches effectively make the OF-graph mandatory
in some situations, while it was purely aesthetics before.

The OF-graph is mandatory per the DT bindings of this driver. If you implement invalid DT which does not contain port@0, it will fail DT validation.

If this requirement should be relaxed, sure, it can and I don't think it would be hard to do, but I don't see why that should be part of this series, which follows the upstream DT binding document for this driver.

If I cannot trust the driver DT bindings to indicate what is and is not mandatory, what other document can I trust then ...
