The problem is that exynos_dsi requires presence of endpoint node, when
it was written the policy was that graphs must be always present.
DSI reads from this node samsung,burst-clock-frequency and
samsung,esc-clock-frequency. For example in exynos4412-trats2.dts:

However, DSI driver does not use remote-endpoint property, it is here
only to fulfill of_graph policy.
So if something like below is acceptable, we can get rid of port node in
panel:

What do you think?

Other solution is to move problematic properties somewhere else, but
this require change of bindings.
Anyway I would be glad to remove port nodes in other samsung panels:
s6e8aa0, ld9040.
