I don't think it makes sense to mix description of connections through parent/child relationships and through ports for a single device. And that being said, I don't agree with Rob's comment there. Having two different methods to describe connections means that you have to implement them both in all display controller drivers (and even all bridge drivers in the case of chained bridges). That's an extra complexity that can easily be avoided by standardizing DT bindings. I also wonder whether Rob's position hasn't been reconsidered since then; I vaguely recalled another more recent discussion on this topic.
