May be possible to include in the same series if it is just about using
'graph.yaml' reference instead of 'graph.txt' in various files.

>>> +description: |
>>> + The hierarchical organisation of the device tree is well suited to describe
>>> + control flow to devices, but there can be more complex connections between
>>> + devices that work together to form a logical compound device, following an
>>> + arbitrarily complex graph.
>>> + There already is a simple directed graph between devices tree nodes using
>>> + phandle properties pointing to other nodes to describe connections that
>>> + can not be inferred from device tree parent-child relationships. The device
>>> + tree graph bindings described herein abstract more complex devices that can
>>> + have multiple specifiable ports, each of which can be linked to one or more
>>> + ports of other devices.
>>> +
>>> + These common bindings do not contain any information about the direction or
>>> + type of the connections, they just map their existence. Specific properties
>>> + may be described by specialized bindings depending on the type of connection.
>>> +
>>> + To see how this binding applies to video pipelines, for example, see
>>> + Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt.
>>> + Here the ports describe data interfaces, and the links between them are
>>> + the connecting data buses. A single port with multiple connections can
>>> + correspond to multiple devices being connected to the same physical bus.

Yes, will list these properties for port/ports.
