Hi Sandor,

Thank you for the patch.

Please split the patch in two.

Does the IP core really have two different interrupt lines, one for
hot-plug and one for hot-unplug ? That's a very unusual design.

Does the IP core integrated in the imx8mp SoCs (as that is what this
binding targets) support both HDMI and DP ? If not this should be
reworded to be more specific to the SoC.

Have you tried validating this with make dt_binding_check ? See
Documentation/devicetree/writing-schema.rst for more information.

This isn't how bindings are referenced. You need to reference the parent
binding with $ref, either globally, or on an individual property basis.

That's it ? No clocks, no power domains, no resets, no PHYs (especially
given that you mention a PHY companion IP above) ?

This isn't correct. Please soo of-graph.txt. If can have either one port
node, or one ports node that contains one of more port subnodes. In this
case you need at least two ports, one for the input to the HDMI encoder,
and one for the HDMI output. The latter should be connected to a DT node
representing the HDMI connector. Yuo can search for "hdmi-connector" in
the .dts files in the kernel for plenty of examples.
