mmsys/vdosys does not output data to the first component of display
pipeline, so this connection looks 'virtual'. Shall we add something
virtual in device tree? You add this in order to decide which pipeline
is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, but for device it don't care which one is first. In
computer, software could change which display is the primary display.
I'm not sure it's good to decide display order in device tree?
