[ Upstream commit 22662f12768f971809b478386d9cc4947d00497a ]
The Allwinner Timings Controller has two, mutually exclusive, channels. When the binding has been introduced, it was assumed that there would be only a single user per channel in the system.
While this is likely for the channel 0 which only connects to LCD displays, it turns out that the channel 1 can be connected to multiple controllers in the SoC (HDMI and TV encoders for example). And while the simultaneous use of HDMI and TV outputs cannot be achieved, switching from one to the other at runtime definitely sounds plausible.
Add an extra property, allwinner,tcon-channel, to specify for a given endpoint which TCON channel it is connected to, while falling back to the previous mechanism if that property is missing.
