I think that's fine, yes

I haven't noticed the patch that introduced this early enough I'm afraid, and 
I think we still have issues with those bindings.

The tvp5150 node should *not* contain connector subnodes, the connectors nodes 
should use the bindings defined in 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/connector/ and be linked to the 
tvp5150 node using the OF graph bindings (ports and endpoints).

Do you think you could fix that ?
