of: property: add of_graph_get_next_port()
We have endpoint base functions - of_graph_get_next_endpoint() - of_graph_get_endpoint_count() - for_each_endpoint_of_node() Here, for_each_endpoint_of_node() loop finds each endpoints ports { port@0 { (1) endpoint {...}; }; port@1 { (2) endpoint {...}; }; ... }; In above case, it finds endpoint as (1) -> (2) -> ... Basically, user/driver knows which port is used for what, but not in all cases. For example on flexible/generic driver case, how many ports are used is not fixed. For example Sound Generic Card driver which is very flexible/generic and used from many venders can't know how many ports are used, and used for what, because it depends on each vender SoC and/or its used board. And more, the port can have multi endpoints. For example Generic Sound Card case, it supports many type of connection between CPU / Codec, and some of them uses multi endpoint in one port. see below. ports { (A) port@0 { (1) endpoint@0 {...}; (2) endpoint@1 {...}; }; (B) port@1 { (3) endpoint {...}; }; ... }; Generic Sound Card want to handle each connection via "port" base instead of "endpoint" base. But, it is very difficult to handle each "port" via existing for_each_endpoint_of_node(). Because getting each "port" via of_get_parent() from each "endpoint" doesn't work. For example in above case, both (1) (2) endpoint has same "port" (= A). Add "port" base functions.
