I've got a chance to study the J721E datasheet, and it shows the DP
bridge has 4 inputs, to support MST. Shouldn't this already be reflected
in the DT bindings ? I think it should be as simple as having 4 input
ports (port@0 to port@3) and one output port (port@4).

The bindings are ABI, so care must be taken to support all features and
avoid future changes that would break backward compatibility. It's fine
if the driver doesn't implement this feature yet.
