Right. The backward compatibility should be kept.
For this, I think we could update the dp driver like below,

	panel_node = NULL;
	
	/* This is for the backward compatibility. */
	panel_node = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "panel", 0);
	if (panel_node) {
		...
	} else {
		endpoint = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(dev->of_node, NULL);
		if (endpoint) {
			panel_node = of_graph_get_remote_port_parent(endpoint);
			if (panel_node) {
				...
			} else {
				...
			}
		}
	}

	endpoint = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(dev->of_node, panel_node);
	...

With the change, we could not only follow the graph concept but also keep the backward compatibility.
Javier, do you have other opinion?

Thanks,
