You are correct indeed, I rushed the patch and did not thought about this. I
agree that this can be confusing, as I also take some time to think through it.

Yes, they are mutually exclusive.

Thing is: this file is only included in two device-trees : stm32mp157c-dk1.dts
and stm32mp157c-dk2.dts.

Among those two files there is only one which adds a second endpoint. Thus if
the fields are set higher in the hierarchy, a warning yields.

One way to do it would be to make the endpoint@0 go down in the device-tree with
its dependencies, so that both endpoints are the same level without generating
noise.
