I agree. I just didn't want to go that way yet =).

Have you thought of the API? You had one version in your CDF series, but
I think that was a bit too limited (I don't remember right now how), so
I wrote my own versions.

What I tried to do here is to add simple ways for the drivers to iterate
the ports and endpoints with omapdss_of_get_next_port and
omapdss_of_get_next_endpoint.

But I'm not sure what the use pattern would be. If in most of the cases
the driver always goes through all the ports and all the endpoints, we
could as well have a helper function that goes through all the endpoints
in all the ports, and returns both the port and endpoint for each iteration.
