Can we have an example with a different number of
encoders/connectors/crtcs, like:

exynos-drm {
        compatible = "exynos,drm";
        crtcs = <&fimd1>;
        encoders = <&dp1>, <&hdmi1>, <&lvds1>;
        connectors = <&ptn3460>, <&hdmi1>;
};

Otherwise I get the impression that there is some topology of the
components or at least relationship between the components encoded
into the binding.
