The display pipeline of the Allwinner A10 is involving several loosely
coupled components.

Add a documentation for the bindings.

+Allwinner A10 Display Pipeline
+==============================
+
+The Allwinner A10 Display pipeline is composed of several components
+that are going to be documented below:
+
+TV Encoder
+----------
+
+The TV Encoder supports the composite and VGA output. It is one end of
+the pipeline.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value should be "allwinner,sun4i-a10-tv-encoder".
+ - reg: base address and size of memory-mapped region
+ - clocks: the clocks driving the TV encoder
+ - resets: phandle to the reset controller driving the encoder
+
+- ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+  first port should be the input endpoint.
+
+TCON
+----
+
+The TCON acts as a timing controller for RGB, LVDS and TV interfaces.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value should be "allwinner,sun5i-a13-tcon".
+ - reg: base address and size of memory-mapped region
+ - interrupts: interrupt associated to this IP
+ - clocks: phandles to the clocks feeding the TCON. Three are needed:
+   - 'ahb': the interface clocks
+   - 'tcon-ch0': The clock driving the TCON channel 0
+   - 'tcon-ch1': The clock driving the TCON channel 1
+ - resets: phandles to the reset controllers driving the encoder
+   - "lcd": the reset line for the TCON channel 0
+
+ - clock-names: the clock names mentioned above
+ - reset-names: the reset names mentioned above
+ - clock-output-names: Name of the pixel clock created
+
+- ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+  first port should be the input endpoint, the second one the output
The example shows 2 output endpoints. Your diagram shows up to 4 
outputs. The number should be how ever many could coexist in a given h/w 
design. In other words, I'm assuming all 4 can't be used simultaneously, 
but can all 4 be wired up in a h/w design and switched in s/w? 

Just be clear on the numbering.
+
+Endpoints optional property:
+  - allwinner,panel: boolean to indicate that the endpoint is a panel
This can be determined by the endpoint not being TV Encoder (or HDMI).
+
+
+Display Engine Backend
+----------------------
+
+The display engine backend exposes layers and sprites to the
+system.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: value must be one of:
+    * allwinner,sun5i-a13-display-backend
+  - reg: base address and size of the memory-mapped region.
+  - clocks: phandles to the clocks feeding the frontend and backend
+    * ahb: the backend interface clock
+    * mod: the backend module clock
+    * ram: the backend DRAM clock
+  - clock-names: the clock names mentioned above
+  - resets: phandles to the reset controllers driving the backend
+
+- ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+  first port should be the input endpoints, the second one the output
+
+Display Engine Frontend
+-----------------------
+
+The display engine frontend does formats conversion, scaling,
+deinterlacing and color space conversion.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: value must be one of:
+    * allwinner,sun5i-a13-display-frontend
+  - reg: base address and size of the memory-mapped region.
+  - interrupts: interrupt associated to this IP
+  - clocks: phandles to the clocks feeding the frontend and backend
+    * ahb: the backend interface clock
+    * mod: the backend module clock
+    * ram: the backend DRAM clock
+  - clock-names: the clock names mentioned above
+  - resets: phandles to the reset controllers driving the backend
+
+Display Engine Pipeline
+-----------------------
+
+The display engine pipeline (and its entry point, since it can be
+either directly the backend or the frontend) is represented as an
+extra node.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: value must be one of:
+    * allwinner,sun5i-a13-display-engine
+  - allwinner,pipelines: list of phandle to the entry points of the
+    pipelines (either to the frontend or backend)
Seems like using FE or BE would be a function of your framebuffers' 
formats and shouldn't be defined in DT.

+
+Example:
+
+panel: panel {
+	compatible = "olimex,lcd-olinuxino-43-ts";
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+
+	port at 0 {
+		reg = <0>;
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		panel_input: endpoint at 0 {
+			reg = <0>;
+			remote-endpoint = <&tcon0_out_panel>;
You can drop the unit-addresses and reg when there is only 1 (or 
leaving is fine too).
+		};
+	};
+};
+
+tve0: tv-encoder at 01c0a000 {
Drop the leading 0.
+	compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10-tv-encoder";
+	reg = <0x01c0a000 0x1000>;
+	clocks = <&ahb_gates 34>;
+	resets = <&tcon_ch0_clk 0>;
+
+	port {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		tve0_in_tcon0: endpoint at 0 {
+			reg = <0>;
+			remote-endpoint = <&tcon0_out_tve0>;
+		};
+	};
+};
+
+tcon0: lcd-controller at 01c0c000 {
ditto...
+	compatible = "allwinner,sun5i-a13-tcon";
+	reg = <0x01c0c000 0x1000>;
+	interrupts = <44>;
+	resets = <&tcon_ch0_clk 1>;
+	reset-names = "lcd";
+	clocks = <&ahb_gates 36>,
+		 <&tcon_ch0_clk>,
+		 <&tcon_ch1_clk>;
+	clock-names = "ahb",
+		      "tcon-ch0",
+		      "tcon-ch1";
+	clock-output-names = "tcon-pixel-clock";
