Add a section that describes dt-bindings for peripherals that support
MIPI DSI, but have a different bus as the primary control bus, or no
control bus at all. Add an example for a peripheral with a non-DSI
control bus.

v2:
- Mentioned what to do if peripheral has no control bus
- Drop unit-address and #*-cells where applicable.

+There are peripherals that have I2C/SPI (or some other non-DSI bus) as the
+primary control bus, but are also connected to a DSI bus (mostly for the data
+path). Connections between such peripherals and a DSI host can be represented
+using the graph bindings [1], [2].
