As we model processing units, interrupt controller, display engine
and pixel engine as devices, relevant drivers are created to bind
them.

Maxime insisted on splitting the main display controller(the overall
IP) into separate devices.  Also, Rob asked me to document every
processing units and the other sub-devices in v2.  So, splitting the
controller is kinda accepted from both DT PoV and DRM PoV.

No. They are just used to bind the devices created from DT.

Given the separated devices created from DT, I can't.

At least, it helps finding read/write ops upon interested devices through
'git grep'.

Also, since we have dc_*_write_mask() helpers, it doesn't look too bad to
have dc_*_read/write() helpers.

Can you please point out typical ones?

I see aliases nodes in about 10 .yaml files as examples.
If needed, I can add them to examples.

Rob said "Ideally, no" to use alias in v1. However, IMHO, it is the only
appropriate way to get instance id. In v1 review cycles, we've seen kinda
4 ways:

1) fsl,dc-*-id DT property
   Rejected by Krzystof.

2) OF alias

3) OF graph ports (Rob)
   This doesn't directly get instance id but just tell the connections.
   Since there are too many input/output options between some processing
   units, I hope we don't end up using this approach, as I mentioned in v1.
   It seems be difficult for display driver to handle those ports.   

   VC4 Hardware Video Scaler(HVS) is not using OF graph ports to tell the
   connections to display controllers, either. See brcm,bcm2835-hvs.yaml.
 
4) fsl,imx8qxp-dc-*{id} DT compatible string
   It doesn't seem necessary to add the id information to compatible string.
