Although, I re-read the doc comment and compared it to the wording of
the other of_graph_*() functions and it's already good as-is to me
because the doc explicitly says the "Return: First local port associated
with local endpoint...", which is exactly what this function does.

But still the function name and it's brief description could be improved.
