The port was actually unnecessary. As far as I understand dsi stuff,
the common case is the panel as subnode of the dsi controller and
the controller then finding the display itself automatically.

If you look at
	"drm/bridge/synopsys: dsi: use mipi_dsi_device to find panel or bridge" [0]
I just sent, you'll see that the dw-mipi-dsi used drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge
to find its panel/bridge thus requiring port connections in all cases where
it had the dsi-device available already, so wouldn't need to use ports for it.

Or I'm completely wrong and port usage is better, we'll see :-D
