Do you mean "Video Post Processing" ? In your diagram above Video Processing 
Unit is abbreviated VPU and covers the VIU, VPP and encoders.

One of those two lines is redundant.

No registers ? Are the encoders registers part of the VPU register space, 
intertwined in a way that they can't be specified separately here ?

Exact, I meant VPP here.

Exact, all the video registers on the Amlogic SoC are part of a long history of fixup/enhance from very old SoCs, it's
quite hard to distinguish a Venc registers array since they are mixed with the multiple encoders registers...

The only separate registers are the VDAC and HDMI PHY, I may move them to these separate nodes since they are part of the HHI register space.

It is a problem if I move them in the next release ? Next release will certainly have HDMI support, and will have these refactorings.

In that case is there really a reason to model the encoders as separate nodes 
in DT ?

Given that DT bindings are considered as a stable ABI, I'm afraid it's an 
issue.

Here, it more the encoder-connector couple that is represented as a node, and
the CVBS output is optional.

OK, I will add the VDAC/HDMI PHY registers as part if these output nodes.

You should actually have a DT node for the connector. I would merge the 
encoders into the VPU node (especially given that according to your diagram 
they are part of the VPU), and document the VPU output ports explicitly. If 
the CVBS output is not implemented by some of the SoCs in the family then the 
corresponding DT node should just omit that port.

Yes, seems a way better option !

+Amlogic Meson Display Controller
+================================
+
+The Amlogic Meson Display controller is composed of several components
+that are going to be documented below:
+
+DMC|---------------VPU (Video Processing Unit)----------------|------HHI------|
+   | vd1   _______     _____________    _________________     |               |
+D  |-------|      |----|            |   |                |    |   HDMI PLL    |
+D  | vd2   | VIU  |    | Video Post |   | Video Encoders |<---|-----VCLK      |
+R  |-------|      |----| Processing |   |                |    |               |
+   | osd2  |      |    |            |---| Enci ----------|----|-----VDAC------|
+R  |-------| CSC  |----| Scalers    |   | Encp ----------|----|----HDMI-TX----|
+A  | osd1  |      |    | Blenders   |   | Encl ----------|----|---------------|
+M  |-------|______|----|____________|   |________________|    |               |
+___|__________________________________________________________|_______________|
+
+
+VIU: Video Input Unit
+---------------------
+
+The Video Input Unit is in charge of the pixel scanout from the DDR memory.
+It fetches the frames addresses, stride and parameters from the "Canvas" memory.
+This part is also in charge of the CSC (Colorspace Conversion).
+It can handle 2 OSD Planes and 2 Video Planes.
+
+VPP: Video Processing Unit
+--------------------------
+
+The Video Processing Unit is in charge if the scaling and blending of the
+various planes into a single pixel stream.
+There is a special "pre-blending" used by the video planes with a dedicated
+scaler and a "post-blending" to merge with the OSD Planes.
+The OSD planes also have a dedicated scaler for one of the OSD.
+
+VENC: Video Encoders
+--------------------
+
+The VENC is composed of the multiple pixel encoders :
+ - ENCI : Interlace Video encoder for CVBS and Interlace HDMI
+ - ENCP : Progressive Video Encoder for HDMI
+ - ENCL : LCD LVDS Encoder
+The VENC Unit gets a Pixel Clocks (VCLK) from a dedicated HDMI PLL and clock
+tree and provides the scanout clock to the VPP and VIU.
+The ENCI is connected to a single VDAC for Composite Output.
+The ENCI and ENCP are connected to an on-chip HDMI Transceiver.
+
+Device Tree Bindings:
+---------------------
+
+VPU: Video Processing Unit
+--------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value should be different for each SoC family as :
+ 	- GXBB (S905) : "amlogic,meson-gxbb-vpu"
+ 	- GXL (S905X, S905D) : "amlogic,meson-gxl-vpu"
+ 	- GXM (S912) : "amlogic,meson-gxm-vpu"
+	followed by the common "amlogic,meson-gx-vpu"
+ - reg: base address and size of he following memory-mapped regions :
+	- vpu
+	- hhi
+	- dmc
+ - reg-names: should contain the names of the previous memory regions
+ - interrupts: should contain the VENC Vsync interrupt number
+
+- ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+  second port should be the output endpoints for VENC connectors.
+
+VENC CBVS Output
+----------------------
+
+The VENC can output Composite/CVBS output via a decicated VDAC.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: value must be one of:
+ - compatible: value should be different for each SoC family as :
+ 	- GXBB (S905) : "amlogic,meson-gxbb-venc-cvbs"
+ 	- GXL (S905X, S905D) : "amlogic,meson-gxl-venc-cvbs"
+ 	- GXM (S912) : "amlogic,meson-gxm-venc-cvbs"
+	followed by the common "amlogic,meson-gx-venc-cvbs"
+
+- ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+  first port should be the input endpoints, connected ot the VPU node.
+
+Example:
+

+	compatible = "amlogic,meson-gxbb-venc-cvbs";
+	status = "okay";

+

+			 reg = <0>;
+
+			 venc_cvbs_in_vpu: endpoint@0 {
+				 reg = <0>;
+				 remote-endpoint = <&vpu_out_venc_cvbs>;
+			};
+		};
