Rob, sorry but, didn't we have to ensure retro-compatibility and not really
forward-compatibility?
That's what I'm doing here.
Besides, it's not granted, yes, but it's a somewhat estabilished practice for
people to either upgrade both kernel and devicetree or just the kernel without
the devicetree.
Using the devicetree from a newer kernel version that is not a linux-stable version
is something that I've practically never seen (it's just me, and I'm not saying
that this is something that *never* happens at all), so I am guessing that this is
"more unique than rare", hence something that we shouldn't really worry about.

As I said in the reply of [1/3], the problem here is about consistency of the input
and output port number(s), and that's why the fallback is here.
Is it avoidable? Sure it is, but we lose that consistency.
My opinion is that this is not really avoidable if we want consistent devicetrees
on all MediaTek SoCs (counting arm64 only, more than 10 and growing, adding up the
arm ones they're many more).
Cheers,
Angelo
