Looks like we have drm bridges supporting dual link, and they use the 
"normal" bus format. Did you have a look at them? They require two port 
nodes for dual link, and use the existence of the second one to decide 
if dual link is used or not.

There are also lvds helpers in drm_of.c. I didn't look closely, but it 
looked to me that the helpers can tell you if the ports are connected to 
a dual link bridge. If not, you could fall back to cloning. This way no 
extra properties are needed. But you will need to add a port node, which 
I think you need to add anyway for cloning.
