I may remove this property.
But, I choose not to add any logic in the host and slave drivers to
handle the interface mode selection at present, since I only support
the DSI_VIDEO_MODE now. Is this acceptable?

The panel data sheet tells that several commands rely on the SETEXTC,
such as SETMIPI, SETPANEL and SETCYC ..., which are used in this driver.

Like the panel-simple driver. I thought that we probably may add other
driver registers here. But, since the driver only supports DSI now,
I may change to use module_mipi_dsi_driver().

I'll add it.
