I'm pretty sure I'm following along.

Correct.

Maybe I can make a better example. I have this for sc7280 in dpu_hw_catalog.c:

	static const struct dpu_intf_cfg sc7280_intf[] = {
		INTF_BLK("intf_0", INTF_0, 0x34000, INTF_DP, CONTROLLER_ID_A, 24,
INTF_SC7280_MASK, MDP_SSPP_TOP0_INTR, 24, 25),
		INTF_BLK("intf_1", INTF_1, 0x35000, INTF_DSI, 0, 24,
INTF_SC7280_MASK, MDP_SSPP_TOP0_INTR, 26, 27),
		INTF_BLK("intf_5", INTF_5, 0x39000, INTF_DP, CONTROLLER_ID_B, 24,
INTF_SC7280_MASK, MDP_SSPP_TOP0_INTR, 22, 23),
	};

And then this array for sc7280 in dp_display.c:

	static const struct msm_dp_desc sc7280_dp_cfg = {
		.desc = {
			[CONTROLLER_ID_A] = { 0xaea0000, DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_eDP },
			[CONTROLLER_ID_B] = { 0xae90000, DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_DisplayPort },
		},
		.num_dp = 2,
	};

So these two arrays must match based on CONTROLLER_ID_{A,B}. I don't
like having to make these two numbers match so if it was explicit, even
possibly by having a bunch of macros put in both places then I would be
happy. I spent a few hours when I messed up the order of the
sc7280_dp_cfg.desc array trying to figure out why things weren't
working.
