There's no need to list all of the VDO0/VDO1/mmsys devices in one big array
property, because the actual possible devices can be defined:
   1. In the bindings; and
   2. In the actual OF graph that we write for each SoC+board combination.

A graph cannot contain a connection to a device that cannot be connected to
the previous, so, your "mmsys-subdev" list can be retrieved by looking at the
graph:
  - Start from VDO0/1 or MMSYS
  - Walk through (visually, even) OUTPUT ports
    - VDO0 (read output ep) -> ovl0 (read output ep) -> rdma0 (read output ep) ->
      color0 (...) -> etc
  - Nothing more - it's all defined there.

There are multiple ways of doing this, but one that comes to my mind right now and
that looks clean as well is the following:

ovl0@...1 {
    .....
   ports {
     port@0 {
       reg = <0>;
       ovl0_in: endpoint {
         remote-endpoint = <&vdosys0_out>;
       };
     };

     port@1 {
       reg = <1>;
       ovl0_out0: endpoint@0 {
         remote-endpoint = <&rdma0_in>;
       };
       ovl0_out1: endpoint@1 {
         remote-endpoint = <&rdma1_in>;
       };
     };
   };
};

rdma0@...4 {
    .....
   ports {
     port@0 {
       reg = <0>;
       rdma0_in: endpoint {
         remote-endpoint = <&ovl0_out0>; /* assuming ovl0 outputs to rdma0...*/
       };
     };
     port@1 {
       reg = <1>;
       rdma0_out: endpoint@1 {
         remote-endpoint = <&dsi_dual_intf0_in>;
       };
     };
   };
};


rdma1@...8 {
    .....
   ports {
     port@0 {
       reg = <0>;
       rdma1_in: endpoint {
         /* assuming ovl0 outputs to rdma1 as well... can be something else. */
         remote-endpoint = <&ovl0_out1>;
       };
     };
     port@1 {
       reg = <1>;
       rdma1_out: endpoint {
         remote-endpoint = <&dsi_dual_intf1_in>;
       };
     };
   };
};


dsi@...cd {
    .....
   ports {
     port@0 {
       reg = <0>;
       /* Where endpoint@0 could be always DSI LEFT CTRL */
       dsi_dual_intf0_in: endpoint@0 {
         remote-endpoint = <&rdma0_out>;
       };
       /* ...and @1 could be always DSI RIGHT CTRL */
       dsi_dual_intf1_in: endpoint@1 {
         remote-endpoint = <&rdma1_out>;
       };
     };

     port@1 {
       reg = <1>;
       dsi0_out: endpoint {
         remote-endpoint = <&dsi_panel_in>;
       };
     };
   };
};

..for a dual-dsi panel, it'd be a similar graph.

Cheers,
Angelo
