Sorry for I could find such drivers. May you give me any pointer?

Keeping the port instead of the parent asks for more code, but,
especially, it also asks for changes in the component drivers because,
at bind time, in 'data', they get a port instead of the device.

You might say that this could be interesting for components with many
different masters (video and audio), but this could be solved adding
intermediate device nodes in the DT (ports).
