True, emphasis that it is reg 0 of DSI bus.

And this does not seems true to me. Established practice is (unless I 
have not noticed change in bindings :) ) that in case of data bus shared 
with control bus the port node is optional. In such case host knows 
already who is connected to its data bus, it does not need port node. 
And if there is no port node there is no port number as well.

As I quickly looked at the exynos bindings they seems generally OK to 
me, if there is something wrong/suspicious let me know.

I guess drm_of_get_bridge should not be used in exynos_dsi_host_attach 
at all - there are no ports here, only of_node of the sink.

Since there is no helper to workaround the dualism panel/bridge you 
should still use of_drm_find_bridge and of_drm_find_panel pair.

I guess the most 'correct' way of handling mic would be dropping 
completely in_bridge from exynos_dsi, instead use bridge chain.

This would require touching decon driver and re-think the role of almost 
dummy 'encoder' code.

I suppose original author of mic bridge did this way because bridge 
framework did not supported attaching bridge between crtc and encoder, 
but now with exynos_dsi as a bridge it should be possible.

But this could be next step.
