[PATCH v2 2/4] dt-bindings: display: bridge: Repurpose lvds-encoder

In an effort to repurpose lvds-encoder.c to also serve the
function of LVDS decoders, we ended up defining a new "generic"
compatible string, therefore adapt the dt-bindings to fit the
new purpose. Also, convert the dt-bindings from .txt to .yaml
while at it.

+  LVDS is a physical layer specification defined in ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A. Multiple
+  incompatible data link layers have been used over time to transmit image data
+  to LVDS panels. This binding targets devices compatible with the following
+  specifications only.
