The main reason I did that is because we only have one output port and
can have 1, 2 or 3 input ports: one is the DPI and the 2 others are
called SDI (some kind of serial input). I thought it would be better to
have all inputs using contiguous port numbers, and if we put inputs
first that means having a hole between the input and output port (port 0
would be the DPI input and port 3 the DSI output).

Honestly, that's just a detail, so if you prefer to have the input
ports start at 0 I'm fine with that.
