I assume these have revisions and configuration options. These will need 
SoC specific properties as well. No need to add one now if you don't 
have an SoC to list, but just note something to this effect.

This is worded like it is either one, but the example shows both.

This should be a function of the type of panel you connect and 
shouldn't be needed.
