Right, and I cannot understand why mDNIe and DP clock enable bit
exists in FIMD ip. :(

It wouldn't be best way only to avoid adding DT binding. DT binding
could be good way to handle complicated hardware pipelines if needed.
Of course, if driver can handle it simply, it would be better to avoid
adding DT binding. However, Exynos SoC are complicated.

Exynos SoC have more IPs to should be considered; SMIES, mDNIe and MIE
as image enhancement devices, and eDP, MIPI-DSI, and DPI (FIMD
connected to panel directly) as Display bus devices and parallel panel
device. And image enhancement device and Display bus device can be
used together.

FIMD -------- Panel
FIMD -------- Display bus device -------- Panel
FIMD -------- image enhancement device -------- Panel
FIMD -------- image enhancement device -------- FIMD-Lite -------- Panel
FIMD -------- image enhancement device -------- Display bus device
-------- Panel
FIMD -------- image enhancement device -------- FIMD-Lite --------
Display bus device -------- Panel

And Display bus devices and parallel device couldn't be switched in
runtime since kernel has been booted. However, image enhancement
devices can be enabled or disabled in runtime so the output path of
FIMD can be changed to another path dynamically - actually, I had
handled such scenarios. So if Exynos drm driver should be considered
for above all cases, it'd make Eyxnos drm driver too complicated.

If DT people and other SoC maintainers give us your opinions, it would
be helpful for us. I will look into other SoC how they are handling
similar cases.
