You can use of-graph ports to link the dsi output with the adv7533
bridge.

An example of the binding looks like:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/drm/msm/dsi.txt

The implementation of this on the dsi host side of drm/msm
can be found in dsi_host_parse_dt, in:

drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi_host.c

You can get to know more about of-graph parsing here:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt

I'd started going through the drm/hisil patches. I'll
share more comments there.

Thanks,
