It's intentional, because dp0_out might sound like displayport. And
from what I've found the output is a display pixel interface, hence dpi.

I agree, that this should have been two patches, must have slipped.
But this series was merged months ago, so we can't change anything
anymore.

Besides, given the fact that there is no support for the DisplayPort
PHY in upstream (yet, I'm working on that), I doubt there are any
out-of-tree device trees, which don't use the proprietary NXP
driver.

Also, if there is an out-of-tree device tree, it should be easy
enough for NXP to change that :)
