Do you need a different vsps property? AFAIK, the current array links each DU channel to a VSPD. When a VSPD is shared between multiple channels, you can still link these channels to the same VSPD.

What does the current driver do if the number of VSPs is the same as the number of CRTCs, but some VSPs are listed more than once? I guess it will break in a subtle way, instead of refusing to probe?
