It would be much easier if we could have access to more complete
information. I believe the DSI and DPI pins could be muxed, but there
should be more DPI pins than DSI pins.

I believe that, when connected to a DP display (either DP or eDP), the
DisplayPort signals are output on SS1 and/or SS2. I this really wonder
if we need two separate ports for this, it seems that port@2 and port@3
should be merged.

That would help with the discussion, yes.
