Having this property in the bridge node is strange. Also, does eDP 
normally have a HPD signal? If you are using this for DP, then this 
property goes in the connector node (or is absent if the bridge chip has 
a dedicated signal).

In fact, IIRC, some QCom bindings already have a property. Maybe it's 
the same. If so, don't describe it twice. Document in common location 
and just reference the common definition and add any constraints (like 
active level for a GPIO).

Is this DSI or eDP lanes?
