Because mediatek drm driver has the same problem with mdp driver, and
it has already use the aliases [1]. No matter what is the conclusion
for mdp driver, I think mediatek drm driver should align to this
conclusion. If the conclusion is to remove aliases, should I modify
the dts which has already upstreamed? Should mediatek drm driver be
backward-compatible with down stream dts which use aliases?
