Hi Marco,

Thank you for the patch.

This assumes a single connection between a connector and a remote port,
and a single port on the connector side. Is this guaranteed ? For the
mini-DIN-4 connectors (often used for S-Video) for instance, I recall
from the extensive discussions we had in the past that they should be
modeled with two pins, one for the Y component and one for C components.
The rationale for this is to support systems where such a connector
could be used to carry S-Video, but also two composite video signals
(usually through an external adapter from 2 RCA female connectors to one
S-Video male connector) that would be routed to two separate video
decoders (or two different inputs of the same video decoder). Other
topologies may be possible too.

Hans pointed out this was a weird number. Should you turn the label
field into a pointer to make this more generic (with a
v4l2_fwnode_connector_cleanup() function then) ?
