There was a short discussion about that in V1:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/00e9ef90-3bbe-4556-8da9-462f65928781@denx.de/

"
Let's keep it in the endpoint node.

There is some mention in the TC9595 datasheet that the DP might operate
in some split mode, where each DP lane is used to feed one display (?),
so I assume in that case there might be two endpoints (?), but that is
not supported right now.

If that is ever needed, I guess this array would have minItems 1 and
maxItems 2 and another endpoint would be added to the schema for this
port 2.

I can do that. Do you think that's worth it ?
