This is not the case in vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dts.

Also, the video and audio ports must be distinguished. They could be
defined in different port groups.

Example from the Cubox:

	video-ports: ports at 0 {
		port {
			tda998x_video: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&lcd0_0>;
				nxp,video-port = <0x230145>;
			};
		};
	};
	audio-ports: ports at 1 {
		port at 0 {			/* AP1 = I2S */
			tda998x_i2s: endpoint at 0 {
				remote-endpoint = <&audio1_i2s>;
				nxp,audio-port = <0x03>;
			};
		};
		port at 1 {			 /* AP2 = S/PDIF */
			tda998x_spdif: endpoint at 1 {
				remote-endpoint = <&audio1_spdif1>;
				nxp,audio-port = <0x04>;
			};
		};
	};

The port type is identified by the bit AP0.
