The function is an extract of common code sprinkled through a few DRM drivers,
they all used port rather than port->parent.

Have a look at my v2 where I've introduced two compare functions and also
modified the Rockchip compare_port() to use port->parent in the comparison. I
guess that should solve your problem.
