Given that the internal connections are static for the given device,
then the compatible will imply these connections in just the same way
as the arm,coresight-funnel implies that all inputs are connected to
the single output.
Irrespective of if a new driver is used, or an extension to the
current funnel driver to handle a new compatible - the mapping between
input and output ports are created based on the compatible..
As we are building a path from source to sink, what is then needed is
a method in the generic path building code, to recognise these
amppings and filter the output ports that are searched based on the
input port in use.
On standard components, where the mapping is not present, then the
code will continue as it does now, for these compound funnels, the
mappings will be present and the output filtering will occur.
This removes the need for the labels / extra connection attributes on
devices other than the funnel, and also removes the need to specify
the internal connections as part of the device tree.
