Do you mean, sth like:
connector {
compatible = "samsung,usb-connector-11pin";
label = "micro-USB";
ports {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
port@3 {
reg = <3>;
musb_con_mhl_in: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&mhl_out>;
};
};
};
Or should I add "usb-b-connector" extra compatible and "type" property?
I slightly prefer my approach(less different bindings), but I am also OK
with the above.

I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean. Port 3 is present only in
11-pin Samsung micro-USB, USB Type-C has only ports 0, 1, 2.
Here is list of possible ports depending on connector type:
- USB 2.0: HS
- 11-pin Samsung micro-USB: HS,MHL
- USB 3.x type A,B: HS,SS
- USB-C: HS,SS,SBU
All ports have separate lines, so they can work simultaneously.
And regarding MHL on standard micro-USB connector. MHL and MUIC will
share HS port, but there will be mux somewhere before connector:
- in MUIC, in this case MUIC will be the parent of the connector, and
there will be graph from MHL to MUIC to describe MHL link,
- in MHL, in this case MHL will be the parent of the connector, and
graph between MUIC and MHL to describe HS link,
- dedicated mux to MUIC and MHL, controlled by gpio pin, it could be
handled by MUIC's external-mux gpio property for example, or (probably)
less hacky by separate node for mux,
or as additional property in the connector (who should be the parent of
the connector then? Probably MUIC?).
