If I was a guessing man (which I'm not, but if I was), I'd guess that
this is because on rk3288 there was only one DP port and it was an EDP
port.  ...but since there was only one people just referred to it as
the "DP" port and that was codified in the bindings.  On rk3399 there
are two ports: one EDP and one DP.  All of a sudden we need to
differentiate.

Any better suggestions for how to deal with that?
