Sure that sounds like a nice approach, will do this for next version.
Would it make sens to extend this operation with a 'direction' parameter
which could take either MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE or MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK and if
!entity->ops->pad_from_dt_regs find the first pad that matches this
'direction' and if it do exist add a check to make sure the pad that is
return matches that 'direction'?

I reasoned that if a port_reg and reg supplied did result in a pad
match the user would have given pad parameters. But sure there might be
cases where that assumtion might not be true. So I see no problem of
changing this to -ENXIO in next version.
