The mux controls for the TCON output path to the TV/HDMI/MIPI encoders,
and the TV encoder outputs, reside in the address space of the first TCON
and TV encoder, respectively. That's why we need to ID them, to access
the mux controls in the right block to setup the display pipeline.

Really? I think you are confusing VGA with the broader "component RGB video".
AFAIK most monitors need separate sync signals.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video#RGB_analog_component_video

Pinctrl or pinctrl like seems to be a good solution. The lines are routed
on the board so it doesn't make sense to have something runtime configurable.
We just need to know which pins are in the same group, and what kind of
signals they each expect.
