To make it more concrete we can look at sc7180

static const struct dpu_intf_cfg sc7180_intf[] = {
        INTF_BLK("intf_0", INTF_0, 0x6A000, INTF_DP, 0, 24,
INTF_SC7180_MASK, MDP_SSPP_TOP0_INTR, 24, 25),
                                                     ^
                                                     |

intf0 is irrelevant. Also the address is irrelevant. But here we have a
zero, the number after INTF_DP, and that is very relevant. That number
needs to match the dp->id. Somewhere we have a match between
controller_id and dp->id in the code.
