Hi,let me explain this: qcs8300 uses the same DPU as sa8775p, which is 
DPU_8_4. Therefore, for the DPU driver, qcs8300 reuses the driver of 
sa8775p. However, for the DisplayPort controller of qcs8300, it's 
different with sa8775p. qcs8300 only supports one DisplayPort output 
port, while sa8775p has two DPUs and supports four DisplayPort outputs. 
Therefore, the DisplayPort controller driver of sa8775p cannot be reused 
for qcs8300. Additionally, the base offset of qcs8300's DisplayPort 
controller is the same as that of sm8650, so the DisplayPort controller 
reuses "qcom,sm8650-dp". I explained this in the commit messages of the 
previous two bindings, but it might not have been explained in the 
commit message of this patch.i will update the commit msg in next patchset.
