Bindings are for h/w, not drivers.

This use of ports is not part of the graph binding.

drm and kms are Linuxisms.

Why do you need this node?

I'll rephrase this.

I'll also rephrase the description and rename this to xlnx,display.

I'll add more details in the description.

I agree. I'll remove linux subsystem specific terms.

This node is used to represent a display pipeline as a single entity, which can consist of multiple components / IPs. I'll elaborate more per your suggestion.

You generally don't need that. Just have the DRM driver match with the
first block in the display pipeline. Then use the OF graph to connect
to the other components in the pipeline. It would help to have a block
diagram showing the data pipelines and h/w blocks.

Some examples are as following. In simple case, a pipeline is linear with multiple blocks:

ZynqMP DisplayPort pipeline:

	ZynqMP DMA -> ZynqMP Display controller -> ZynqMP DP encoder

FPGA display pipeline where each block comes as a separate device:

	FPGA DMA -> FPGA mixer -> FPGA HDMI encoder

It gets more interesting as those can be mixed:

	ZynqMP DMA -> ZynqMP Display controller -> ZynqMP DP encoder
		            |
	FPAG DMA ->
or

	ZynqMP DMA -> ZynqMP Display controller -> ZynqMP DP encoder
						         |
						         -> FPGA HDMI encoder
		            
Or even,

			ZynqMP DMA -> ZynqMP Display controller -> ZynqMP DP encoder
				            |			          |
	FPAG DMA -> FPGA mixer ->				          -> FPGA HDMI encoder

This node is representation of such variations as a single pipeline device.

+Xilinx KMS Pipeline
+-------------------
+
+Xilinx display pipelines can be designed with hardened video IPs and soft video
+IPs in programmable logic. This KMS module provides the common functionality
+of individual subdevice drivers, and glue logics between them.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be "xlnx,kms".
+
+- ports: phandles for CRTC ports, using the DT bindings defined in
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt.
+
+Example:
+
+	xlnx_drm: xlnx_drm {

+		ports = <&crtc_port>;
+	};
