By design,  I am try very hard to let the code NOT fully  DT dependent. DT is nice , easy to learn and use.
But kernel side developer plan to follow UEFI + ACPI Specification on LS3A5000 + LS7A1000 platform. See [1]
There will no DT support then, provide a convention support  make the driver more flexible. I want the
driver works with minimal requirement. The driver just works on simple boards by put the following dc device
node in arch/mips/dts/loongson/loongson64g_4core_ls7a.dts,

             lsdc: display-controller at 6,1 {
                 compatible = "loongson,ls7a1000-dc";

                 reg = <0x3100 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
                 interrupts = <28 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
                 interrupt-parent = <&pic>;
             };
