Sweet, I'll update my patch set accordingly.

Yes, I think the supposed design is that you should use the of_graph and
then call of_find_possible_crtcs() to figure out your links.

Unfortunately that doesn't work with the design of the DPU driver,
because the crtcs doesn't represent the INTFs - and as you say, the
existing of_graphs are full of incorrect data.

Which also means that I don't know why we keep filling out the of_graph,
because afaict it's not used and it contains invalid information.
