Yes, that was my point. But your patch uses the port child reg property as
the index for the struct device_node *endpoints[TVP5150_PORT_NUM] array.

If there's only one port child (for the output) then the DT binding says
that the reg property isn't required, so this will be 0 and your patch will
wrongly map it to TVP5150_PORT_AIP1A. That's why I said that the output port
should be the first one in your enum tvp5150_ports and not the last one.
