The hdmi _can_ talk to both vops, which is why it has the connection to both. 
Resolution-limitations and selecting a matching vop should be handled in the 
drm driver I'd think - but you'll need to talk to Mark Yao or some else 
knowledgable in graphics.

The devicetree is about describing the _available_ hardware, not configuring 
how it is supposed to be used ;-) .
