That came out of

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/c86b7ca2-7799-eafd-c380-e4b551520837@samsung.com/

# If the ip has separate lines for DCSS and LCDIF you should distinguish
# by port number. If they are shared
# you can use endpoint number to specify DCSS or LCDIF, in both cases
# bindings should be adjusted.

I read that as

- distinguish by endpoint number:

    eLCDIF--\    |
             ----| nwl
    DCSS----/    |

- distinguish by port number:

    eLCDIF-------|
                 | nwl
    DCSS --------|

From the imx8mq ref manual i didn't see separate input lines for DCSS vs
eLCDIF the the NWL IP so i went with endpoints instead of ports.  I'm
happy to change that if i got it wrong.
