I still confused about use drm_of_find_possible_crtcs to bind crtc and
encoder, the port of drm_crtc, default is null?

709  /**
710   * struct drm_crtc - central CRTC control structure
711   * @dev: parent DRM device
712   * @port: OF node used by drm_of_find_possible_crtcs()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25  static uint32_t drm_crtc_port_mask(struct drm_device *dev,
26     struct device_node *port)
27  {
28   unsigned int index = 0;
29   struct drm_crtc *tmp;
30
31   drm_for_each_crtc(tmp, dev) {
32   if (tmp->port == port)
33   return 1 << index;
34
35   index++;
36   }
37
38   return 0;
39  }

I did not see any place to initialize the port of drm_crtc in the drm
framework, if not setup it.
it looks like the port of drm_crtc is undefined.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_vop.c#L1851
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/tilcdc_crtc.c#L1051

The difference from others is that we use of_parse_phandle,
as you said, follow the OF-Graph bindings , should be also use
of_get_child_by_name replace it?
like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    struct device_node *port;
    port = of_get_child_by_name(dpu->dev->of_node, "port");
    if (!port) {
        DRM_ERROR("find 'ports' phandle of %s failed\n",
              dpu->dev->of_node->full_name);
        return -EINVAL;
    }
    crtc->port = port;
    of_node_put(port);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we have multiple display controllers, use of_parse_phandle by
different index also seem is ok.
display-subsystem {
                compatible = "sprd,display-subsystem";
                ports = <&dpu0_port, &dpu1_port, &dpu2_port......>;
 };

dpu0_port = of_parse_phandle(drm->dev->of_node, "ports", 0);
dpu1_port = of_parse_phandle(drm->dev->of_node, "ports", 1);
dpu2_port = of_parse_phandle(drm->dev->of_node, "ports", 2);
