I don't think it is forbidden to have a port node in device tree
containing no endpoint nodes. Empty port node means only that,
for example, a subsystem has a port/bus for connecting external
devices but nothing is actually connected to it.

In case of Exynos CSIS it might not be so useful to have an empty
port node specified in some top level *.dtsi file and only
the endpoints specified in a board specific dts file. Nevertheless,
I wouldn't be saying in general a port node must always have some
endpoint node defined.

I could apply this patch as it doesn't do any harm considering
existing dts files in the kernel tree (arch/arm/boot/dts/
exynos4412-trats2.dts), but the commit description would need to
be changed.
