Thanks for the suggestions, we will add more descriptions in the future.

The display module connections is shown in mt2701_mtk_ddp_main[] and
mt2701_mtk_ddp_ext[].
OVL -> RDMA -> COLOR -> BLS(pwm) -> DSI
RDMA -> DPI

This patch series mainly focus on DSI support for MT2701 SoC and the
basic functions.  The BLS(pwm) and DPI parts are not included here.

We will remove 'mt2701-disp-wdma'. We didn't implement its driver and it
is unused now.

For the pwm part, we need the device node to establish the display
module connections.  The pwm compatible string is described in
"dt-bindings: pwm: Add MediaTek display PWM bindings" [1] and the
control is implemented in "pwm: Add MediaTek MT2701 display PWM driver
support" [2].

For the dpi part, we need the device node to establish the display
module connections.  The dpi patch will be in another patch series,
split out from "drm/mediatek: fix the wrong pixel clock when resolution
is 4K" [3].
