Ah, right. I missed that it gets phandle to hdmi, and compares the
phandle to one in component_list.
Yes, in this case, exynos drm driver will be failed because
component_list never has a component object for hdmi.
So this shouldn't return as long as there is any component - in
component_list - that can be attached to master.

Hm.. the foot of the candle is dark.

For this, I fixed and tested it like below,
for (i = 0;; i++) {
        node = of_parse_phandle(np, "ports", i);
        ...
        ret = component_master_add_child(...);
        ...
        if (!ret)
                attached_cnt++;
}

if (!attached_cnt)
        return -ENXIO;
...

And one more thing, it seems that we could  resolve dt broken issue
easily by getting phandle to existing device node directly.
