[PATCH v4 12/13] [HACK] drm/bridge: lvds-codec: Enforce device specific compatible strings

The lvds-codec driver is a generic stub for transparent LVDS
encoders and decoders.
It's good practice to list a device specific compatible string
before the generic fallback (if any) in the DT node for the relevant
LVDS encoder/decoder, and it's also required by the dt-bindings.
A notable exception to the generic fallback mechanism is the case
of "thine,thc63lvdm83d", as documented in:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/thine,thc63lvdm83d.txt
This patch enforces the adoption of a device specific compatible
string (as fist string in the list), by using markers for the
compatible string we match against and the index of the matching
compatible string in the list.

Hi Laurent,

I don't think we need to do anything in the driver to address your
comment, as we can "enforce" this with the bindings (please see the
next patch, as it would help with the "enforcing" of the compatible
string for the thine device).
I am sending this patch only so that you can see what a possible
solution in the driver could look like.

v3->v4:
* New patch addressing the below comment from Laurent:
"I think the lvds-decoder driver should error out at probe time if only
one compatible string is listed."
