I did make up an index when I used the 'reg' property. Similar to how
ports can be indexed. The AM65 has 1 OLDI TX. AM62 and AM62P have 2 OLDI
TXes each. The index is to help the driver parse through each of them.

If I push these OLDI TX nodes as child nodes under &dss_oldi_io_ctrl,
then that would be an inaccurate representation of the hardware.

The OLDI TXes are very well a part of the DSS hardware. As such, the
(three) registers that control the functionality have been made a part
of the DSS video-port (VP) register space, leaving OLDI TXes with no
direct access to the primary bus (cbass_main) where the DSS sits.

The IO control registers, on the other hand, do not affect OLDI
functionality in any way. These are just helper registers that merely
control the power characteristics of the OLDI data and clock lanes.
