For the anx7625 case, the child node does represent what the output is connected to (the usb-c-connector via the switch). Does that not qualify? Or do you mean the child node should be a usb-c-connector itself? > For example, a panel > represented as child node of a display controller.

The child node will still use a OF graph binding to connect to the usb-c-connector. Is that insufficient to consider a child node usage here? By "using the graph binding", do you mean "only use the top-level ports" ? I'm trying to clarify this, so that it will inform future versions and patches. > > I think Stephen and I are pretty much saying the same thing. > > Rob
