Sorry, I have what might be a stupid question: should I update the s5p-cec.txt
to refer to the cec.txt bindings file for the hdmi-phandle and needs-hpd instead
of describing it here? It seems pointless to do that for the hdmi-phandle, but
it might make more sense for the needs-hpd property.

E.g.:

  - needs-hpd: CEC support is only present if HPD is high. See cec.txt for more
    details.


Proposed text for cec.txt:

-------------------------------------------------
Common bindings for HDMI CEC adapters

- hdmi-phandle: phandle to the HDMI controller.

- needs-hpd: if present the CEC support is only available when the HPD
  is high. Some boards only let the CEC pin through if the HPD is high, for
  example if there is a level converter that uses the HPD to power up
  or down.
