I posted a RFC series [0] some time ago, that proposed a DT binding
for input connectors [1] using OF graphs.

I never re-spin the series because Laurent had some comments on the DT
bindings and I was waiting for a response on to my latest email [2].
So if you can comment on this and see if the DT bindings fits your,
would be very useful.
