I have not misread it. Then I guess I forgot about it and missed it the
next time on v3.

Somewhat confusing, yes. Highly, no. Put a comment in the DT.

There is no guarantee on that. Port numbering is local to the bridge and
opaque to anything outside that bridge. That is why you have to document
what each port represents.
Would we have followed that convention if all the ports were defined
from the start? Certainly. But that didn't happen and you are stuck with
the existing binding and ABI.

You can't fix existing software...
If you want to break the ABI, then that's ultimately up to you and
Mediatek maintainers to decide0. This case is easy to avoid, why would
you knowingly break the ABI here. OTOH, this seems like a big enough
change I would imagine it is a matter of time before supporting a
missing OF graph for the components will be a problem.
