If we regard the current component as having compatible
"qcom,coresight-compound-funnel-v1", then this identifies the
relationship between the in-ports and out-ports.
So the new driver / extension to the funnel driver that handles this
compatible with know the static mapping between input and output so
program it.
If however you want a more generic approach to handle future different
versions of the component, then of course a method in DT of mapping
in-ports to out-ports is useful.
If did wonder if something along the lines of:-
compound-funnel@0x1234000 {
compatible = "compound-funnel"
regs = < 0x1234000 0x1000>
sub-funnel@0 {
in-ports {
[some port definitions]
}
out-ports {
[some port definitions]
}
}
sub-funnel@1 {
in-ports {
[some port definitions]
}
out-ports {
[some port definitions]
}
}
}
might be made to work? not sure about the implications of having more
that one set of in-ports and out-ports in a component in the device
tree & would need specific handling in the driver to iterate
sub-funnels.

given we iterate by output port index into an array of out ports, and
have an array of in-ports by index, a third mapping array, same size
as in-ports, determining the associated out port index should suffice.
Mapping array should be optional - if not there, path discovery works
as previously
