Hi Sui,

Thank you for the patch.

The old logic is equivalent to of_graph_get_remote_node(), but now the
driver will fail probing without an error message. That's not very nice
as it leads to difficult to debug problems. I would keep one dev_err()
here:

		dev_err(thc63->dev, "No remote endpoint for port@%u\n",
			THC63_RGB_OUT0);

As your patch has been merged already, would you like to post a
follow-up patch to fix this ?
