That's a bit problematic. Consider either the use case of DTO which adds 
the other display, or even a custom board DTS. Without your patch, this 
works:

arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp15xx-dhcor-avenger96.dtsi
&ltdc {
   ...
   ports {
     ltdc_ep0_out: endpoint@0 {
       remote-endpoint = <&adv7513_in>;
     };
   };
};

board-with-display.dts or board-overlay.dts
&ltdc {
   ports {
     endpoint@1 { // just add another endpoint@1, no problem
       remote-endpoint = <&display>;
     };
   };
};

With your patch, the DTS would have to modify the "endpoint" node to be 
"endpoint@0" probably with a whole lot of /detele-node/ etc. magic (DTO 
cannot do that, so that's a problem, and I do use DTOs on AV96 
extensively for the various expansion cards) and then add the 
endpoint@1. That becomes real complicated in custom board DT, and 
impossible with DTO.
