With display pipelines it is common to describe the pipeline with an OF
graph. With the pipeline drawn out, you also get ways to derive identifiers
for otherwise identical blocks, such as from port IDs.

See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/allwinner,sun4i-a10-display-engine.yaml
and arch/arm/boot/dts/sun9i-a80.dtsi for such an example.
