Ah, thanks, I think I've got the pattern now!

You're right, I wasn't following the naming convention here. dtc doesn't
produce any warning on this though. Fixed that anyway.

Yes, I can attribute two of the messages in my dmesg log [1] to this
("Missing LVDS properties" and "LVDS output disabled". "sun4i-tcon
1c0d000.lcd-controller" is indeed tcon1). And yes, I can see how they
can be confusing to someone.

I'd need some pointers on how to deal with that though (if we want to do
it in this scope).

[1] excerpt from kernel boot log:
