So the device tree is a tree organized through which bus controls which
device: Your DSI controller is accessed through a memory-mapped region
and is thus a child node of the main bus (I guess?) and then, since the
DSI panel is going to be controlled through the DSI controller and
MIPI-DCS, it needs to be a child of the display controller.

This is exactly what is being described here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Doc=
umentation/devicetree/bindings/display/mipi-dsi-bus.txt#n42

The second port is thus not needed at all
